Setting-Specific Compliance Risk

Volumes 1 through 3 of this compendium described a compliance program's architecture, legal foundation, and core operational functions, deliberately independent of any specific care setting. Volume 4 applies that foundation to twenty-three distinct healthcare delivery settings and entity types, from hospitals and skilled nursing facilities through laboratories, technology vendors, accountable care organizations, and telehealth, addressing the specific regulatory frameworks and risk patterns that make compliance genuinely different by setting.

Written for compliance officers who need setting-specific depth and the attorneys who advise them, this volume treats each setting's Conditions of Participation, payment structure, and documentation requirements as its own discipline, extended across twenty-seven chapters covering hospital, post-acute, ambulatory, specialized clinical, and additional facility and supplier types, plus multi-setting health system coordination.

Inside:

• Hospital Conditions of Participation, EMTALA operations, and price transparency in practice
• Skilled nursing, home health, hospice, and long-term care pharmacy compliance
• Ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, FQHCs, and urgent care
• Laboratory, dialysis, and durable medical equipment supplier compliance
• 27 chapters covering critical access hospitals, ambulance services, technology vendors, ACOs, telehealth, and multi-setting health system coordination

Volume 4 is the fourth installment of the six-volume series and builds directly on Volumes 1 through 3.
