That’s why HCPro has created a resource to help them do just that. Introducing the Guide to Monitoring: Tools and strategies to enlist department managers in hospital compliance.
Put compliance responsibility in capable hands!
This new book and CD-ROM set provides practical tools and strategies to help compliance officers and auditors get department managers to take responsibility for monitoring their own department’s compliance. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing an effective departmental monitoring program that will
- save precious time.
- prevent costly errors.
- allow managers to identify problems within the department.
- give you unique tools for tracking your progress toward effective compliance.
This book will even help you “sell” departmental monitoring to senior management, operational managers, department reviewers, and hospital board members. Department managers will be able to share the responsibility of monitoring, allowing compliance personnel to step back and focus on overall hospital compliance.
Guide to Monitoring includes:
- Automated Excel spreadsheets to help department managers compile mini-audit findings into trackable data.
- Step-by-step instructions to help compliance officers and auditors implement a monitoring program, including strategies for achieving buy-in from department managers.
- Talking points to help you explain why monitoring is important: suggested approaches for marketing your departmental monitoring program to operational management and hospital board members.
- Strategies and tools for presenting monitoring results to board members to help demonstrate progress.
- Easy-to-read case scenarios to help you troubleshoot problems that may arise along the way.
