April 11, 2011 | Palo Alto, California: MetricStream Inc., the market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced its participation in the 15th Annual Compliance Institute. Organized by the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA), the conference will be held from 10th-13th April, 2011 in Orlando, Florida. Compliance professionals from across the nation will come together to discuss key trends, issues and concerns surrounding regulatory norms in the healthcare industry.
As one of the most heavily regulated industries in the US, Healthcare spends tremendous costs and efforts on compliance. Yet regulatory norms are only increasing, and healthcare organizations find themselves having to cope with older norms such as HIPAA, as well as newer mandates such as the Affordable Care Act. Effective compliance requires organizations to establish an integrated enterprise risk management system, conduct regular risk-based audits, monitor controls and provide timely business intelligence on compliance to Boards and Management.
The HCCA Compliance institute will help address these demands through thought-provoking insights. The conference will bring together industry experts, thought leaders and compliance professionals to discuss how to effectively adapt to changing healthcare reforms, processes and technology with a sustainable compliance program.
