Introduction To Education and Training

It is often difficult to remember that you know things that others don't. As a manager, you are responsible to assure that those who report to you have the appropriate and necessary knowledge to do the job expected from them and that they are protected from making errors through ignorance. Not everyone begins at the same level of knowledge when accepting responsibilities in a health care provider. Some have come fresh from school, while others come from previous experience in health care providers. Either one may come with incomplete or incorrect knowledge and practices. It is best that your facility provide quality training to ensure that they know what is the correct and proper method and process for compliance.

"July2007: In Florida, a doctor was sentenced to 78 months in prison and ordered to pay %504,000 in restitution and forfeit and additional $705,000 after a jury found her guilty on all counts of an 89 count indictment including 44 charges of health care fraud. The female physician who practices dermatology, billed Medicare as if she performed highly complex surgical closure procedures when she actually only preformed simple surgical stitches or no procedure at all" (http://www.oig.hhs.gov)
