Ensuring compliance with regulations tops the list of job responsibilities for hospice executives, according to hospice letter’s annual Hospice Executive’s Salary and Benefits Survey.
While hospice administrators are extremely aware of what the regulations are, hospice staff is not always fully informed or compliant. That is because staff training and regulatory compliance are the two most difficult and labor-intensive responsibilities for administrators today.
But it becomes much easier if a hospice develops an effective compliance program that becomes a part of routine operations and fosters an organizational culture promoting the prevention, detection and resolution of conduct that doesn’t conform to the law, regulatory requirements or a provider’s internal standards and policies.
