You have made a sound investment in your professional development by joining the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA); now what? An HCCA membership offers resources for all stages of your compliance career and your organization’s size. Whether you are just starting out your career in healthcare compliance, or are a seasoned veteran, whether you have little to no annual budget or an unlimited compliance program budget (don’t we all wish), the HCCA has membership resources available for you. As a 10-year member of HCCA, I am sharing some tips for maximizing your membership benefits to further develop your career and effectiveness.
Website
The HCCA website is a treasure trove of information. Developing a compliance program from scratch? The HCCA has you covered. The HCCA has tons of articles, white papers, policy templates, books, and training videos for you to use as you formulate an effective compliance program. If you have an existing compliance program, the available HCCA resources can help you to fine-tune your program or explore opportunities for effective program expansion. HCCA’s resources are designed and intended to meet you where you are at.
Feeling isolated or burned out? You’ll want to check out the HCCA podcasts that include topics ranging from building a successful compliance career, to combating stress, to leveraging humor in training. Use the online “member only” portal to look up and connect with HCCA members in your local area to brainstorm, or simply connect with a peer who can potentially provide a best practice or creative way to break through a barrier.
