Because most organizations are struggling to support their staff and keep a positive culture during the pandemic, it has become apparent to the compliance department that risks to the organization have increased as well. It has also become apparent that the approach to mitigate these risks has changed, too.
When you don’t have adequate staffing levels throughout the hospital and there is too much work, or people wear too many hats, it will take longer for some things to get done in today’s environment. I don’t need to tell you that the stress level is high for everyone in different ways, and for those healthcare workers on the front lines with COVID-19 patients, the level is extremely high. This is a difficult time for many, both professionally and personally, and everyone has to do the best they can.
