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.

Healthcare Compliance, Defined

What Is Healthcare Compliance?

The rules are many, the regulators are several, and everyone in the organization is responsible.

Healthcare compliance “can be defined as the ongoing process of meeting or exceeding the legal, ethical, and professional standards applicable to a particular healthcare organization or provider,” according to Compliance.com. Its scope can extend to patient care, billing, reimbursement, managed care contracting, research standards, OSHA, The Joint Commission standards, and HIPAA privacy and security. A good compliance program considers all of these when it plans staff training and certification.

Who Regulates Healthcare Compliance?

Healthcare compliance rules exist to protect patient safety and promote higher-quality care. Governing bodies include the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Office for Civil Rights, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and The Joint Commission.

What Happens When You're Noncompliant?

Staying compliant with all applicable laws and regulations is of the utmost importance for a medical facility. Noncompliance puts you at risk of hefty fines and charges, legal action including malpractice lawsuits, and often irreparable damage to your reputation.

HHS OIG Guidance

The Seven Components of a Compliance Program

The OIG's compliance guidance for physician practices lists seven components.

According to the HHS Office of Inspector General, these components provide a solid basis for a physician practice's compliance program. OIG also notes that, under the Affordable Care Act of 2010, physicians who treat Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries will be required to establish a compliance program.

  • Conduct internal monitoring and auditing.
  • Implement compliance and practice standards.
  • Designate a compliance officer or contact.
  • Conduct appropriate training and education.
  • Respond appropriately to detected offenses and develop corrective action.
  • Develop open lines of communication with employees.
  • Enforce disciplinary standards through well-publicized guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question? Call (888) 641-6131 and talk to a real person.

What is healthcare compliance training?

Training that teaches healthcare staff the legal, ethical, and safety standards that apply to their jobs. For most practices that centers on OSHA workplace safety — especially bloodborne pathogens — and HIPAA privacy and security, plus the practice's own compliance program.

Is healthcare compliance training required?

Much of it is. OSHA requires bloodborne pathogens training at initial assignment and at least annually for exposed employees, and HIPAA requires training every workforce member who handles PHI. OIG also lists training and education as one of the seven components of an effective compliance program.

What are the seven elements of a compliance program?

OIG's guidance for physician practices lists: conduct internal monitoring and auditing; implement compliance and practice standards; designate a compliance officer or contact; conduct appropriate training and education; respond appropriately to detected offenses and develop corrective action; develop open lines of communication with employees; and enforce disciplinary standards through well-publicized guidelines.

Who regulates healthcare compliance?

Several bodies, including the HHS Office of Inspector General, HHS and its Office for Civil Rights (HIPAA), OSHA, the FDA, the DEA, and accrediting organizations such as The Joint Commission, along with state agencies.

Is there an official healthcare compliance certification?

Not from the government for HIPAA — HHS doesn't certify people or products as HIPAA compliant. Training certificates document that staff completed required training, which both OSHA and HIPAA expect you to record. Learn more on our HIPAA training page.

How do I track which staff need re-certification?

MedPro's online platform tracks certification status for your whole team and sends reminders before re-certifications are due, so you can see at a glance who's compliant.

What does MedPro's compliance training include?

Online OSHA and HIPAA training modules, compliance tracking, tools for safeguarding PHI, certificates of completion, and guidance on certification — alongside medical waste disposal and document destruction if you need them.
