Compliance challenges for the healthcare industry
As a compliance professional in healthcare, it can feel like you’re facing an unfair fight. You must navigate a constantly evolving landscape of regulations, including HIPAA, the Sunshine Act, and the Affordable Care Act, requiring continuous education, policy management, and the implementation of robust compliance programs to mitigate non-compliance risks.
Major challenges include data security, patient privacy, and digital risks. Collaborating with IT teams is essential to protect sensitive patient data and maintain compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Healthcare organizations rely on third-party vendors for critical services ranging from billing to medical supplies, making vendor compliance crucial to avoid legal and financial repercussions.
Key areas of compliance in healthcare
Healthcare organizations are complex enterprises. There’s many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) to Data Privacy to Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:
- Training and Education: Continuous training and education of the healthcare workforce, ensuring that employees have access to the most up-to-date policies and educational resources.
- ABAC Compliance: Ensuring that anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) laws and standards are upheld.
- Data Protection and Security: Safeguarding sensitive information in an increasingly digital landscape and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations such as HIPAA.
- Third-Party Risk Management: Managing risks with your third-party vendors to ensure partners adhere to regulatory standards.
- Workplace Safety: Implementing standards for a safe working environment.
- Supply Chain Due Diligence: Ensuring suppliers comply with laws and standards. Due diligence may now be expected deeper into the supply chain beyond tier 1.
- Incident and Case Management: Addressing and mitigating incidents of non-compliance, conducting investigations, implementing corrective action plans, and reporting to regulatory bodies.
- Environmental Compliance: Adhering to regulations such as ESG aimed at minimizing the impact on the environment from healthcare activities.
