Write a 2-3 paragraphs describing the responsibilities of the health care board as it relates to compliance. Use the materials provided here and refer to Chapter 1 in the textbook.
The Health Care Handbook: A Clear and Concise Guide to the United States Health Care System, 2nd Edition by Elisabeth Askin MD, Nathan Moore MD
Add an additional paragraph to your post, discussing which positions report to the Board. [Important Note: The chart does not have a Compliance Officer and as of 2017 OIG considers that position a vital part to an effective Compliance Program (book needs to update). Add a Compliance Officer. Best practices have the Compliance Officer with direct and unencumbered access to the Board.]
Select a hospital system (California Pacific Medical Center San Francisco, CA | (415) 600-6000) and conduct some research to see if you can find published disclosure information regarding who is on the system's Board.
Include a note about whether this information was available. If the information was published, tell us if that person is internal to the health system or an external member.
