Experts Available to Discuss Compliance and Risk Best Practices for Today's Complex, Global Marketplace
ICD-10, HIPAA 5010 and Vendor Risk Management in Healthcare, Financial Services and Supply Chain Particular Focus Areas.
- Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) October 07, 2011 - Compliance and risk remain hot topics within organizations as regulatory mandates continue to proliferate, particularly in healthcare, financial services and supply chain. Today we are in the third wave of GRC platforms which use software on-demand (Software as a Service or SaaS) to solve compliance management for business processes. Legacy GRC platforms were built to address older requirements such as SOX, but not new compliance mandates such as ICD-10 or privacy vendor risk management.
ICD-10 has been compared to Y2K because of its impact and deadline, and it adds significantly to the complexity of testing/evaluating all trading partners. Healthcare payers and providers want their people focused on finding and solving problems, not being data entry clerks. Both payer and providers need to work closely with their affiliates because it is in nobody's best interest to see the claims and billing processes break down on 10/1/13.
In terms of vendor risk management (VRM), companies can outsource everything except their liability. Regulations, guidance from regulators and increased enforcement all underscore this. Enforcement stresses what companies should know and that diligence is a requirement. Best practices in vendor management include financial risk monitoring as well as regulatory compliance. VRM must be an ongoing process beyond just on-boarding; it includes financial risk, status changes and watch list monitoring.
