Compliance Plan Revisions

Category: Compliance 

Date: January 8, 1997

Reviewed/Revised: April 2013

Purpose

To establish a mechanism to review the compliance plan and make revisions as necessary.

Policy

This Compliance Plan is intended to be flexible and readily adaptable to changes in regulatory requirements and in the health care system as a whole. The Plan should be regularly reviewed to assess whether it is working. The Plan should be changed as experience shows that a certain approach is not effective or suggests a better alternative. To facilitate appropriate revisions of the Plan, the Compliance Officer should prepare a report, at least annually, that describes the general compliance efforts that have been undertaken during the preceding year and that identifies any changes that might be made to improve compliance. This report should be circulated to the EVMS Medical Group President, the EVMS Medical Group Executive Committee and others with an interest in compliance for their comments about possible revisions to the Plan.
