Hidden Risk Area: Patient Grievances—Are You Prepared for a Survey?

One of the industry’s most comprehensive healthcare compliance conferences, the 23rd Annual Health Care Compliance Association’s (HCCA) Compliance Institute, took place April 7-10, 2019, in Boston, MA.

The program was designed for compliance professionals from a variety of healthcare backgrounds and offered strategies for tackling issues such as quality of care, cybersecurity, risk management, and daily job challenges.  Industry experts discussed on-the-ground compliance issues, emerging industry trends, and practical applications.

PYA Consulting Manager Susan Thomas co-presented with Sheila Limmroth of DCH Health System on “Hidden Risk Area: Patient Grievances–Are You Prepared for a Survey?”  Their presentation focused on the following objectives:

  • Define CMS expectations for a patient grievance process and how to use the guidance as a compliance work plan auditing tool.
  • Discuss what state auditors review when they come onsite to assess your patient grievance process.
  • Consider the role of compliance in the patient grievance process.
