Part 1: Critical Analysis of the Law
Identify, cite the code, and briefly describe one health law found in the standard health care statutes document. For the health, law selected, evaluate the following.
Evaluate whether the law is federal or state, civil or criminal, public or private. How do you know?
Why is it important to know when a statute has been modified by administrative regulation, court decisions, or new ordinance? How can you find out about these changes?
What are the penalties associated with non-compliance with your law? Why would it be important to you and your organization to avoid these penalties? How could you comply with the law you described?
Evaluate the role of the health care administrator or health information technology administrator in legal compliance.
Why is your role important in preventing litigation and supporting legal compliance?
What tools are available for legal compliance? Name one compliance tool from the Week 12 Managerial Compliance Tools list and describe the tool. Evaluate how the tool would control this risk.
How can you take action to reduce legal risk?
