Healthcare Compliance Deconstructed: Our Inaugural Episode!

In the premiere episode of Compliance Deconstructed, your hosts Jessica Zeff, Lorie Davis, and Elvan Baker dive into the foundational principles that shape effective healthcare compliance programs. Whether you're a newcomer to the compliance world or a seasoned professional with years of experience under your belt, this episode offers a comprehensive, yet accessible overview to help you confidently navigate the regulatory landscape.

The conversation is built around the Seven Elements of an effective compliance program - core building blocks that support ethical behavior and regulatory adherence. Each element plays a critical role in establishing a strong compliance culture within healthcare organizations, from leadership and training to communication and corrective actions and everything in between.

You’ll also discover the importance of policies and procedures as more than mere formalities. These documents serve as operational blueprints, guiding day-to-day behavior and ensuring consistency across departments. Learn why they should evolve with your organization and how collaboration enhances their effectiveness.

Additionally, Jessica, Lorie, and Elvan explore how compliance is a shared responsibility that extends far beyond the compliance office. By fostering a culture of integrity (driven by leadership, supported by open communication, and embraced by staff at all levels), organizations can build trust, prevent risk, and stay aligned with their ethical mission.
