In this special five-part podcast series, sponsored by Affiliated Monitors, Inc., I visit with AMI Managing Director Jesse Caplan on emerging issues in healthcare compliance and monitoring. In Episode 1, Jesse Caplan discussed the many different types of potential regulatory and liability risks healthcare provider organizations and practices face in connection with the prescribing of opioids.  In this Episode, we discuss how healthcare organizations can identify and mitigate the risks from opioid prescribing by their practitioners. Some of the issues considered are:

What can healthcare organizations, and particularly their compliance departments do to identify and mitigate the risks from opioid prescribing?

Can you give us some examples of deficient opioid prescribing practices by, otherwise, experienced and caring physicians?

What help is available to healthcare organizations to address these risks?

Do monitoring firms like AMI provide these types of proactive assessments of opioid prescribing programs and practices?

Join us for Episode 3, where we discuss the expanding use of independent monitors by health regulators.
