December 15, 2023A Conversation on BH Audits with Dr. Doran and Dwayne Cottel
It’s no secret that receiving an audit from SWORBHP can spark a lot of anxiety, but should it? Dr. Sean Doran (Local Medical Director) and Dwayne Cottel (Prehospital Care Specialist) discuss this in our latest podcast.
A variety of topics are discussed, including:
Why self-reporting is the best option and the importance of it
The auditing process and how things work behind the scenes
Feedback requests, why we reach out and the value in a prompt response
These questions and answers cover most of what you, as a Paramedic, should know about auditing and its process. We hope you enjoy and learn a lot from this great conversation!
