week 7 paper

Interview a corporate compliance officer (via any virtual platform of your choosing) of any healthcare organization and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the organizations compliance program. You can do this via phone, Skype, in person, or possibly even e-mail. How you obtain the information is your decision. Some organizations publish their compliance plans on the Web. It is fine to reference web-based resources, but it is essential that you make a connection with the corporate compliance officer to ask questions about his/her background, reporting relationships, and, if they are willing to describe what they believe are the greatest compliance challenges and successes they have faced. More details included in Blackboard.

Prepare a 6 to 8 page paper describing the organizations compliance function. Include descriptions of the qualifications of the compliance officer, reporting relationships, how (or whether) the compliance plan contains the five key components. Using primary resources and APA format:

1. Analyze the strengths and weakness of the program. Identify compliance risks.
2. Make recommendations for improvement.
