The Nursing Facility Industry Segment-Specific Compliance Program Guidance (ICPG), together with the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) General Compliance Program Guidance (GCPG), serves as OIG’s updated and centralized source of “voluntary” compliance program guidance for nursing facilities and other health care providers. Nursing facilities can use the ICPG to help identify their risks and to assist in ensuring they are implementing an effective compliance and quality program to reduce those risks.
These resources are not one-size-fits-all, comprehensive, or all-inclusive of compliance and quality considerations or risks for nursing facilities. While OIG uses the word “should” in the Nursing Facility ICPG and GCPG to present their guidance, the OIG does make clear the areas focus the OIG believes are needed to include in an effective compliance program.
Webinar learning objectives include:
- Define the Nursing Facility Industry Segment-Specific Compliance Program
- Discuss options for expanding and auditing to ensure your program meets the recommendations
- Identify tools in the OIG program that may enhance your current program
