Our proprietary compliance evaluation protocol goes in-depth to analyze and evaluate your compliance program to establish its current status and gaps in implementation.

Strategic Management uses elements from the HHS OIG compliance program guidance documents, the DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Program and the U.S. Sentencing Commission Sentencing Guidelines to evaluate the effectiveness of healthcare organizations’ compliance programs.

How it Works

A Proven Process for Accurate Evaluations

  • Assessment Phase
    Our team conducts in-depth reviews of compliance-related documentation and interviews with Compliance Department team members, Board members, and key stakeholders in executive management and operational areas to ensure effective operations . We also undertake site visits and surveys to gain a complete understanding of how compliance is integrated within the operations of the organization.
  • Review Phase
    After our assessment, we produce a comprehensive Report of Findings and Recommendations. This addresses each of the OIG’s elements of an effective compliance program and highlights strengths of the compliance program and areas of improvement with actionable recommendations.
  • Presentation Phase
    Our team helps you present the findings to your Board of Directors and put all findings and recommendations in proper context. The Senior Consultant conducting the evaluation is available to present the findings to your Executive Compliance Committee and Board of Directors, providing context for the recommendations, securing buy-in, and discussing the necessary resources for the Compliance Department.
