Today I am talking with T.J. Ferrante. T.J. is senior counsel and a board certified health care lawyer with Foley and Lardner. I asked T.J. to come on the show because he is an expert in the legal and compliance issues associated with telemedicine. The use of telemedicine has exploded over the last few years and I think these issues will be relevant to so many of us in compliance.

Today I am talking with Jay Anstine of Bluebird Healthlaw Partners. Jay is a lawyer and compliance officer and we are going to discuss strategies you can use to engage with leadership and be seen as a partner as opposed to an obstacle (or as my colleague described it a few years ago, a myopic obstructionist). Jay has some very practical suggestions for building rapport and building relationships to help remove some of the perception that compliance is a barrier to operations. I will include all of Jay’s contact information in the show notes which you can access through your podcast app or by going to the podcast website, compliancemastermind.com. Jay has a great weekly newsletter that you can sign up for on his website so definitely check that out.

Today I am talking with CJ Wolf. CJ is a physician who now works in compliance full time as a senior compliance executive at Healthicity. Given his background and experience I knew he would be the perfect person to talk about strategies to engage physicians in the work of compliance.

Today on the show I am talking with Sharon Peters. Sharon is a partner in the Portland office of Lewis Brisbois and is a member of the firm’s Healthcare and Labor and Employment practices. Sharon and I are talking about the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). The NPDB is a web-based repository of reports containing information on medical malpractice payments and certain adverse actions related to health care practitioners, providers, and suppliers. Established by Congress in 1986, it is a workforce tool that prevents practitioners from moving state to state without disclosure or discovery of potentially damaging performance issues. With the increasing focus on quality care and patient safety I think this is a very timely topic and Sharon provides some great insights.

Today on the show I am talking with Fran Carroll. Fran is the Corporate Compliance and Privacy Officer for the Joint Commission and we are going to talk about something that was confusing to me as a young compliance officer and is still an area of opportunity for most health care providers, and that is the relationship between compliance and accreditation.
Fran provides an interesting perspective about the synergies and potential ways to leverage the expertise of both disciplines and I think our conversation will help identify some possible improvements that may be helpful in your own organization.

Today on the show I am talking with Marti Arvin. Marti is the Vice President of audit strategy for CynergisTek and has more than three decades of operational and executive leadership experience in the fields of compliance, research, and regulatory oversight in both academic medical and traditional hospital care settings.
Marti and I are talking about vendor management. This is one of those areas that I think can be very overwhelming and it's hard to know where to start. In our conversation Marti provides some very practical suggestions and tactics to help you evaluate your organization’s vendor relationships and ensure that you have the appropriate controls in place.

Today we are talking all about value based care and alternative payment models. The transition from payment for the volume of care provided to payment for the value that care brings, is here to stay and as compliance officers we need to get our arms around these new payment models in order to determine how they impact our organizations and our compliance programs. So today I’m going to talk about where to begin. First we'll discuss how to evaluate the compliance program requirements associated with value based care and alternative payment models, and what steps you need to take to ensure your program addresses the risks and program requirements associated with the programs. And second, I am going to identify ways to help take your compliance program beyond the core components and identify strategies and opportunities for operational integration.

Today on the show I am talking with Janet Kennedy about social media. Janet is a social media expert, has over 20 years experience in marketing and is the host of the “Get Social Health” podcast. She is also the founder of the Get Social Health Academy, a coaching and eLearning consultancy producing online courses for Healthcare Associations, Medical Societies, and private practices.
I loved my conversation with Janet because we talked about some of the compliance aspects of social media, but also how social media is being used in healthcare. We talk about who is using social media well, what lessons can be learned from social media gone bad, and what we should be communicating with employees about using social media.

Today I am talking with Chris Haney about Big Data and data analysis. This is another topic on my 2018 bucket list of areas that have intimidated me in the past. The good news is that Chris is an expert and explains these concepts in a way that non-statisticians can understand. This episode provides a great overview of data in healthcare and how we can utilize data analysis in our compliance programs. Chris talks about prioritizing our data analysis, proactive versus reactive approaches, and the role of statistical sampling.
Chris Haney is the Managing Director of the Forensus Group specializing in financial investigations, forensic accounting and statistical sampling analysis. Previously, Chris led investigations at a global consulting firm, and was a Forensic Accountant at the Federal Bureau of Investigation specializing in complex white collar and healthcare violations. You can learn more about Chris and find his blog on statistical sampling and analysis on his website: http://forensus.com
