Quick Answer
Healthcare compliance is the ongoing process of meeting or exceeding the legal, ethical, and professional standards that apply to a healthcare organization or provider. It spans patient care, billing and reimbursement, OSHA workplace safety, HIPAA privacy and security, and accreditation standards. For most practices, the core training obligations are OSHA's bloodborne pathogens training, required at hire and at least annually, and HIPAA workforce training, required for new staff within a reasonable period and after material policy changes.
