Is Your Compliance Coordinator Prepared for All the Changes?
COVID-19 impacted HIPAA and OSHA Regulations. Are you still in compliance? Hoping you won’t get caught is not a wise compliance strategy. You may be risking potential HIPAA and OSHA violations and penalties.
In 2020, OSHA proposed nearly 4 million dollars in penalties arising from 295 citations inspections for violations relating to coronavirus. A number of these included dental offices.
In addition, the Office of Civil Rights actively enforced its Patient Right to Access initiative resulting in nineteen significant fines for covered entities who had not provided patients their records within the timeframe required by federal laws.
HIPAA and OSHA regulations were developed to protect your team, your patients and your practice. Speaking of patients, the pandemic also elevated real concerns for patient safety. And now more than ever, knowledge of dental risk management best practices is of utmost importance for the legal protection of every dental practice.
Do I Really Need OSHA, HIPAA, and Dental Risk Management Education and Certification?
Do you have all of your OSHA, HIPAA, and risk management bases covered? Answer these five basic questions just to be certain:
1
Are you a newly appointed Compliance or Safety Officer or have multiple locations?
2
Are you confident your policy manuals are as up to date as they should be?
3
Has the Savvy Patient™ visited your office lately? Does that make you uneasy?
4
Would receiving a complaint or investigative letter make you nervous?
5
Are you concerned about losing paper documents because you’re not digital?
Is membership or earning a CDSO™, CDSH™ or CDSRM™ right for you?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions,
you should consider the Dental Compliance Institute.
