If you think compliance is expensive, try non-compliance\u00a0<\/span>– Former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, Paul McNulty<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A recent <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> indicates that healthcare providers in the U.S. still have a long way to go when it comes to compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

One-third of the respondents said that their organizations have only one person in the compliance office.<\/span><\/p>\n

50% of them still manage compliance documents manually.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-compliance comes at a pretty heavy cost. Take the case of Anthem Inc. that had to pay the federal government a whopping $16 million to settle the largest health data breach in U.S. history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we talk about the benefits of a well-structured <\/strong><\/span>healthcare learning management system (LMS<\/span>), let\u2019s take a look at the importance of <\/span>healthcare <\/b>compliance training.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What is Healthcare Compliance?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Healthcare compliance refers to the need for compliance with laws and regulations mandated by legislation for the healthcare industry as it relates to day-to-day job responsibilities of employees.<\/p>\n

A typical <\/span>healthcare compliance training <\/b>usually covers topics pertaining to workplace safety and the privacy of patient information.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not just meant for doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other qualified members of staff. Rather, this training must be imparted to the unskilled workers too – the clinical assistants, porters, ward clerks, and other medical attendants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such Compliance Ensures:<\/p>\n
