Course Description:

Compliance is critical for every aspect of the business, administrative and clinical operations of health care entities. Often overlooked gaps in compliance can lead to serious legal and regulatory liabilities. Conducting regular compliance risk assessments can significantly reduce a health care entity’s and provider’s risk and liability exposure. This webinar is the first in a 12-part compliance risk assessment series being presented by Halos4Health and Skill Acquire.
