JERICHO, N.Y., Aug.
24 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. (HCCS), the
leading provider of online healthcare compliance and competency training, today
announced the release of a new online compliance training course designed
specifically for nursing facilities including nursing homes, skilled nursing
facilities and other long term care providers.
Nursing facilities are facing increased government scrutiny. Federal and
state government agencies are auditing the services provided and carefully
inspecting documentation, coding, billing, and the quality of care provided. An
effective compliance education program is essential in protecting nursing
facilities from fines and penalties.
Online compliance training courses from HCCS are in use at hundreds of
healthcare institutions across the country to provide recurring compliance
training for staff and administrators. The courses, including the new Nursing
Facility compliance course and online HIPAA compliance training course, are
designed to change staff behavior and maintain compliance with changing
regulations. The online courses are customizable, easy to understand, and
updated annually or more often as regulations change. The courses include
interactive exercises to keep learners engaged and increase retention.
The Nursing Facility Compliance course covers many areas including:
- Compliance Risk Areas
- Compliance Programs
- Documentation and Coding
- Compliance Review
- Billing and Reimbursement
- Resident Care Risk Areas
"The Nursing Facility Compliance course expands our widely used online
compliance training library to the vital long term care providers," says Ben Diamond, President of HCCS. "The course provides a
great foundation for a compliance program to educate nursing facility employees
about fraud, waste, and abuse. It provides a measure of protection for these
organizations from increasing and relentless government attention. Large health
systems can utilize both the HCCS Corporate Compliance online training course
and this new Nursing Facility Compliance course to meet the compliance training
needs of all of their facilities."
The Nursing Facility Compliance online training course is available now.
