What measures can you take to incorporate the provisions of the False Claims Act and the Anti-Trust Laws? What process changes will help the organization comply more easily with the Physician Self-Referral Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute?

Overview
In this module, you explored the importance of documentation in government compliance and reporting. When assisted by technology, documentation becomes easier to capture and maintain, as well as less prone to errors, which in turn improves the patient experience.
This activity will help you describe how technology supports regulatory compliance in healthcare. It also enables you to explain how regulation, fraud, and abuse impact operations and patient care.
Scenario
You work within a healthcare organization as the director of quality, and your chief compliance officer has asked you to create a memo to be distributed to the entire organization. They have asked that the memo focus on how an organization can better manage risk to the revenue cycle and healthcare reimbursement by examining ways to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.
Directions
Create a memo to assess how the following laws and regulations can help a healthcare organization reduce fraud, waste, and abuse and thereby manage risk to the revenue cycle and reimbursement. Also, recommend strategies and technology to help an organization abide by the laws and regulations. Refer to the following laws and regulations to guide your response:

False Claims Act
Physician Self-Referral Law
Anti-Kickback Statute
Anti-Trust Laws

You may refer to the “Activity Reading” resource in the module resources section to better understand how a memo is structured. If you need writing support, access the Online Writing Center through the Academic Support module of your course.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

False Claims Act: Analyze the impact of the False Claims Act on the organization’s reimbursement, coding, and strategic planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What are the provisions of the False Claims Act?
What penalties could an organization face for violating the Act?

Physician Self-Referral Law: Analyze the impact of the Physician Self-Referral Law on a healthcare organization’s reimbursement, revenue cycle, and strategic planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What are the features of the Physician Self-Referral Law?
How does this law help prevent fraud and abuse in healthcare?

Anti-Kickback Statute: Analyze the impact of the Anti-Kickback Statute on healthcare reimbursement and referrals. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

How is the Anti-Kickback Statute different from the Physician Self-Referral Law?
What kind of financial penalties would be attracted by the violation of this statute?

Anti-Trust Laws: Analyze the impact of the Anti-Trust Laws on a healthcare organization’s financial performance and strategic planning. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What are the premises of the Anti-Trust Laws?
How do the Anti-Trust Laws help prevent fraud and abuse in healthcare?

Recommendations: Recommend strategies and technology to reduce operational risk and promote operational efficiencies by integrating the regulations that prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. Consider the following questions to guide your response:

What measures can you take to incorporate the provisions of the False Claims Act and the Anti-Trust Laws?
What process changes will help the organization comply more easily with the Physician Self-Referral Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute?

Case Analysis (Remote Work Is Thriving at Dell)Dell Technologies is considered one of the most progressive companies in the world for remote workforces. The company, which develops, sells and supports computers, was valued in 2019 at more than $36 billion and employs more than 150,000 workers worldwide. Check out the Dell career webpage that is devoted to flexible job opportunities and you’ll see the company’s pride in employees being able to choose “the work style that best fulfills their needs on the job and in their personal lives.”Dell reports that its remote teams are as productive, if not more, versus in-person teams. The company uses team technology to connect with chats, content sharing and video conference calls. Video is credited as extremely important in engaging team members, including on executive teams. In fact, the company states that its remote team members are four times as likely to be engaged at work and two times as likely to want to stay at their current jobs.Slack in one program was employed to facilitate collaboration with a centralized space for teams to work. Adobe Connect allows creation of information like training manuals and presentations in addition to conferencing. Skype is a go-to video conferencing software for many who work from their laptops, as well. In short, the market offers many ways for teams to collaborate virtually and maintain the ability to self-manage. Furthermore, the programs allow for highly complex team projects that can be more productive remotely when sharing documents, simulations and conducting real-time analysis.Dell uses an extremely high level of ongoing connectiveness with coworkers, such as intra-company social media and chats. The ability to “follow” and chat with team members allows for solving issues that arise infrequently and unexpectedly. Finding and gathering your team can even be easier with remote work than in person because everyone is connected.Due to Dell’s use of a remote workforce since 2009, the company estimates it has saved $12 million in fuel costs, not to mention the associated environmental benefits.The future gets more remote for Dell. The company now plans that by 2020, employee global participation in remote work options will increase to 50% of its workforce.1. This type of team can be very effective remotely because the members are working in their normal jobs and only come together when there is an issue.2. What does Dell credit as being a critical factor to engagement in remote team meetings?
