The healthcare industry continues to represent the fastest growing segment of our nation's economy. Increasing numbers of trained career-oriented professionals enter this promising field each year, sharing common goals, interests and needs. To help providers and employees meet their goals we offer certification and continuing education services.
As healthcare services have evolved, the oversight has expanded proportionately, so that now certification processes and continuing education requirements have emerged related to care-provider policies to ascertain acceptable performance levels and compliance with existing and emerging legislation. Compliance planning addresses, plans, and incorporates such standards into their operations as a matter of course.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS (HCFA - Healtch Care Finance Administration:
In a nutshell, the government has mandated provider compliance program guidelines which must include written standards for:
- Conduct
- Education and training for all providers and staff
- Ongoing monitoring and auditing of practice operations
- Background checks of physicians and staff
- System for reporting suspicious conduct
- Consistent enforcement and changes to internal policies and procedures if offenses are discovered
To complement the mandates, National Certification Services staff with its many years of combined experience, has developed various training programs (www.meditec.com) and competency testing currently used by many companies in both medicine and law. Whether you acquired your knowledge and skills at a school or on the job, what you know may be successfully tested and certified. Then, once your certification is documented, Med-Certification will provide and document your continuing education credits (CECs) as required under compliance rules.
Plan to wet your feet and tickle your brain with the practice tests “Cert-blasters” and then to complete the process by sitting for the “Exam-Guard” certification exam. The tests are the virtual benchmarks in the professional fields we serve.
