Healthcare

Healthcare providers are faced with a proliferation of compliance requirements related to patient information security, operational practices, service delivery procedures and electronics health records management. Regulatory compliance requirements and industry standards include JCAHO, ARRA, HIPAA, HITECH, Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOx) and other national and state regulations for patient safety. Apart from the regulatory pressures, is the need for healthcare providers to prepare themselves for Medicare and Medicaid audits like the RAC, MIC, ZPIC audits and so on.

MetricStream solution ensures that healthcare providers successfully meet regulatory requirements by streamlining the various components of the healthcare compliance program consisting of tracking the regulatory changes, implementing policies and procedures, defining and assessing controls, identifying and assessing the risk of non-compliance and performing internal audits. MetricStream solution also helps in improved patient safety by supporting quality programs through document control, compliance training, ongoing auditing, as well as recording and reporting issues and nonconformance incidents and the resulting corrective actions. Role-based dashboards, control diagrams, and scorecards provide visibility into the ongoing healthcare compliance efforts and bring high-risk areas into focus.
