Today’s healthcare industry is in a constant state of motion. Providers face a multitude of complex regulatory and operational challenges. Taking flight requires both a wide perspective of the industry and sharp-eyed vigilance within the organization. A robust internal audit program is no longer an option – it’s a necessity.
