Why Should You Attend:
One of the biggest challenges any compliance professional faces is finding out about compliance issues on the after-the-fact. This is often a telltale sign of healthcare leaders disengaged to compliance. A significant step towards overcoming this challenge is how you handle consulting to them on business objectives that may have compliance concerns.
You want them to see you as a business partner not an obstacle. This presentation is designed to guide compliance professionals through some proven strategies to change the perception of compliance in your organization so leaders engage you on the front end rather than on the back end.
