Tired of keeping track of compliance by yourself? Make compliance monitoring easier and more effective with the Guide to Monitoring: Tools and strategies to enlist department managers in hospital compliance!

All too often, compliance managers and auditors revisit various hospital departments only to find that staff members haven’t followed through on post-audit compliance actions. Since their last audit, it seems they’ve fallen back into their old, noncompliant ways. There are too many risks involved in this familiar scenario. But the truth is, it’s impossible for one person to keep track.

The solution is to have department managers take responsibility for their own compliance.

This book and CD-ROM set provides practical tools and strategies to help compliance officers and auditors get department managers to take responsibility for monitoring their own department’s compliance. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing an effective departmental monitoring program that will:

  • save precious time.

  • prevent costly errors.

  • allow managers to identify problems within the department.
    give you unique tools for tracking your progress toward effective compliance.

This book will even help you “sell” departmental monitoring to senior management, operational managers, department reviewers, and hospital board members. Department managers will be able to share the responsibility of monitoring, allowing compliance personnel to step back and focus on overall hospital compliance. Guide to Monitoring includes:

  • Automated Excel spreadsheets to help department managers compile mini-audit findings into trackable data.

  • Step-by-step instructions to help compliance officers and auditors implement a monitoring program, including strategies for achieving buy-in from department managers.

  • Talking points to help you explain why monitoring is important: suggested approaches for marketing your departmental monitoring program to operational management and hospital board members.

  • Strategies and tools for presenting monitoring results to board members to help demonstrate progress.

  • Easy-to-read case scenarios to help you troubleshoot problems that may arise along the way.

With the Guide to Monitoring, you’ll not only get detailed instructions for setting up departmental monitoring, you’ll also find sample-monitoring tools on CD-ROM that will give you everything you need to implement departmental monitoring right away. These tools are fully customizable for your hospital.

The CD-ROM also includes Excel templates of monitoring reports to help you demonstrate your progress to board members and senior management. Plus, you’ll find 10 Excel spreadsheets to help your department perform mini-audits of the most common high-risk areas, such as:

  • Claim support documentation

  • Respiratory services charges

  • Physician certification of medical necessity or specialty care transport

  • Medicare secondary payer claims submission

  • Medicare inpatient discharge take-back monitor

  • ED medical screening exams

  • EMTALA emergency department transfers

  • Medicare lifetime reserve days

  • Complete blood count with automated manual differential

  • Privacy safeguards

Bit uneasy about using Microsoft Excel? It won't be a problem for you because the Guide to Monitoring CD-ROM includes an Excel primer to help you brush up on your spreadsheet skills.

The CD-ROM comes with complete instructions to help departments track error rates, and easily generate reports that will help you monitor progress and demonstrate the effectiveness of your department’s work.

Who needs the Guide to Monitoring? The following staff will wish to have access to these tools:

  • compliance officers,

  • auditors,

  • administrative and clinical department directors/managers,

  • risk managers,

  • finance directors,

  • billing and coding managers, and

  • consultants.
