(1) Nurse charges for Diabetes Management Education as a Physician Visit.

Diabetes management education enables the patients who are diabetic to manage their sicknesses. There is no standard policy in relation to charging the patients with diabetes for the services they receive. As a result, different nurses having been charging different prices for its services which at times discourage the patients who are seeking these services. To enable the physicians to improve on the care that they give to diabetic patients it is important to ensure that the facility has an appropriate billing system (Buckley, 2018). This calls for development of a compliance plan. Accuracy in billing will increase the patient effort to get the education. A compliance plan will help in preventing claims that are fraudulent, avoid erroneous billing by the nurses and avoid the ethical conflicts while providing the patient care.

(2) Many employees are not able to fulfill the requirement to discuss the facilities Mission Statement and Vision Statement

The mission and the vision statement of the company give the facility the direction to follow and what they are expected to achieve. Despite the fact that most of the employees want the organizations to succeed and do things in the right way, there are high chances that they will not strictly adhere to the guidelines provided in the mission statements. Employees might choose to do things according to their own knowledge and expertise (Waugh, 2019). Even though this may lead to great achievements there will be barriers that will stop the employees as well as the company from moving forward. It is thus necessary to develop a compliance plan that ensures that all the employees know the direction to follow as well as when and how to use the given direction. Compliance with the mission and vision will help in avoiding conflicts of interest as well as ensure legal adherence from the employees.
