Compliance Update: Furthering the CAO Compliance Program
By Susan Walberg, CAO Interim Compliance Officer
The CAO Compliance Program is continuing to move forward. The CAO Board of Managers has approved the Compliance Program document, the Compliance Committee Charter, the False Claims Act Policy, the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy. A number of additional Compliance policies are currently being reviewed by the Compliance Committee and will most likely be approved shortly.
CAO has also entered into an agreement with HIPAA Secure Now. This company will be conducting Information Security Risk Assessments and will provide organization-wide policies, procedures, and training modules to facilitate compliance with HIPAA Security and Meaningful Use requirements. An additional benefit of the HIPAA Secure Now arrangement is that they have an online platform that will allow us to store other policies and procedures, thereby enabling us to have all our corporate-level policies in one place.
