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 this Episode, Jesse Caplan discusses how health regulatory agencies are using independent monitoring to serve important public policy goals – specifically to help ensure a ready supply of quality healthcare providers, particularly for government programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

We consider some of the following issues:

In previous episodes, you and your colleagues at affiliated monitors have talked about how independent monitoring can effectively and efficiently extend the ability of government regulators to oversee healthcare providers and organizations.  can you explain some more about how independent monitors can serve this purpose?

In most cases, a monitor has to be approved by the government regulator or enforcement agency – what’s the value to the government of approving a monitoring relationship?

What about the healthcare organization – what are the benefits of an independent monitoring situation?

Can you give us some recent examples of where healthcare regulators are using independent monitors in different contexts?

Join us for Episode 4, where we discuss independent integrity monitoring of healthcare organizations or systems.
