HHS-OIG Compliance Program Guidance

The HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) Compliance Program Guidance helps healthcare organizations develop effective compliance programs to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. It provides a framework for establishing ethical practices, ensuring adherence to laws and regulations, and promoting accountability. Key elements include leadership commitment, risk assessments, employee training, monitoring for compliance issues, and responding appropriately to any violations. By following this guidance, healthcare providers can improve their practices, enhance patient trust, and avoid legal problems, ultimately ensuring better care and service for patients.
