This episode covers the "Ins and Outs of Compliance and the Role of the Compliance Officer"! Healthcare compliance is the process of following rules, regulations, and laws that relate to healthcare practices. In general, compliance means conforming to a rule, such as a specification, policy, standard or law. Every healthcare organization must have some level of compliance in order to operate effectively. Ultimately, healthcare compliance is about providing safe, high-quality patient care.
