The full name of this course is: Healthcare Compliance, Ethics & Governance
This course provides students with a foundation in health care corporate compliance, ethics, and governance. We will begin by discussing the importance of effective corporate compliance in the health care industry and identify key individuals responsible for compliance oversight and implementation within an organization. Students will examine how governmental regulation and enforcement intersect at compliance. Using subregulatory guidance and other industry resources, we will identify compliance program building blocks and the elements of an effective health care compliance program. We will consider special compliance challenges related to corporate social responsibility, transparency, conflicts of interest, fraud and abuse, billing, and privacy. Students will use case studies and hypothetical problems to learn and apply material. Expert guest lectures will also be incorporated.
The class will meet remotely by Zoom. During some weeks, live class time may be reduced to account for material delivered in a recorded, asynchronous format.
Students will be assessed through class participation (10 points), knowledge checks (20 points), a homework assignment (10 points), an in-class presentation (10 points), and a final exam (50 points) -- for a maximum of 100 points total.
