Designate a Compliance Officer

OK, you know your Green Tree Hospital got one important thing right - they designated you as their compliance officer. Not only that; but word about your early good work in compliance is spreading. In fact, your hospital executive has appointed you to a committee to establish a set of uniform guidelines for the position of a compliance officer in order to standardize the position and possibly create an educational program for compliance officers on a national level.

Develop a list of at least three areas of responsibility that would be required of all health care compliance officers. Before you write anything, supplement your reading in this area by conducting an Internet search on companies currently seeking compliance officers within the health care industry. (Websites like monster.com and careerbuilder.com are helpful.) Review the responsibilities and duties of at least three different positions.

Then, for each area, define what tasks would be involved with each area of responsibility. See the example below
