Assignment –

As discussed in the readings, the most efficient and effective approach of a compliance office is not to be a police officer focused on finding all instances of non-compliance. An effective compliance program manages risks and is able to prioritize their activities based on the magnitude of the risk posed. 

Discuss how you would apply this approach in the healthcare setting i.e how would you build a culture of compliance that creates an environment where people aren’t just scared of you catching them doing something wrong, but feel comfortable self-reporting violations, filing complaints, or asking for additional guidance on a certain topic.
