Why Do We Have a Compliance Program?
Health care is a complex and heavily regulated industry. In order to be responsive to its ever-changing laws and regulations, Cheyenne Regional Compliance Department has developed a compliance program to promote a culture of compliance within the organization. Compliance is everyone’s responsibility and ignorance of the law is not a defense for non-compliance. The Compliance Department supports Cheyenne Regional’s workforce so they can create a healthier community through bold innovation in an ethical and compliant manner.
Furthermore, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Office of the Inspector General (OIG) strongly encourage all health care providers to implement effective compliance programs as outlined in the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Without an effective compliance program, non-compliance issues can lead to substantial penalties. While our financial objectives are not our primary reason for maintaining compliance, the compliance program helps the Cheyenne Regional to navigate the health care regulatory environment and avoid the fines, penalties or negative publicity that can distract us from achieving our mission. Nevertheless, we have taken up this mandate primarily to serve as a role model for our community in health care.
