Healthcare organizations
This assignment will explore compliance issues with federal and state laws and regulations governing healthcare organizations, such as the Anti-Kickback Law, the False Claims Act, the Stark Law, credentialing, medical errors, and patient safety. It is important to understand healthcare compliance for the benefit of improving patient care. It is also important to promote adherence to applicable laws, payer healthcare requirements, and to protect the organization against fraud, waste, abuse, and other potential liabilities.
Community health partnership
This assignment requires your synthesis and reflection of the elements needed to form your proposal for a community health partnership. Such partnerships are mandated by the ACA for nonprofit hospitals and offer benefits to both partners.
Your proposal will contain an overview of the benefits; and, using your weekly resources and assignments, you will identify the steps needed to form a partnership of this type.
These steps include:
Critiquing the community health needs assessment.
Initiating strategic planning through a SWOT analysis and creating strategic action plans.
Analyzing the role and impact of healthcare regulatory agencies.
Understanding the legal aspects of forming partnerships.
Evaluating hospital performance as a community consumer.
Creating a budget for the partnership project.
You will summarize the predicted ROI for this nonprofit hospital/community health partnership from a holistic perspective in narrative form rather than a financial accounting perspective.
