It is so nice when Operations can view the Compliance department as a resource to partner with. A director may reach out to partner with the compliance officer to ensure they have a good understanding of a change in a Medicare Manual section, regulation, or accreditation standard. They may seek the compliance officer’s help with reviewing the way they are revising a policy and procedure and adding regulatory citations and other reference materials. Departments may seek to partner with the Compliance department to help develop a PowerPoint and participate in the specialized training session to ensure that all the employees are clear on what is required to be in compliance.
