To maintain quality patient care, staying up-to-date with changes in policy is crucial.

In this episode, we have Hira Rashid Ph.D, Senior Program Manager of MedTrainer, as part of the entire series on Rethinking Compliance with MedTrainer, delves into the critical landscape of healthcare policy and compliance. Hira navigates this challenging terrain, staging federal compliance training, data collection, and ensuring organizations are following the proper regulatory procedures. She discusses her approach to identifying compliance needs, creating customized training plans, and staying adaptable in the face of changing healthcare regulations, especially within the context of multistate mergers and acquisitions. She discusses the importance of current security risk assessments and constructing training plans based on identified risks. She shares great insights into the trends in healthcare, such as the shifting away from a fee-for-service model towards more preventive and primary care. Hira sheds light on the different pain points in healthcare - from the shortage of primary care providers, particularly in rural and low-density areas, to the requirement of electronic health records systems for Medicare and large healthcare providers. 

If you're intrigued by the challenges of keeping up with changing regulations, the importance of readiness and early implementation, and the role of technology in streamlining compliance, this episode is not to be missed!
