Tremendous changes have occurred in the area of HAI liability, loss of reimbursement and increasingly burdensome legislation for acute as well as ambulatory care facilities. This program will identify key elements of those changes and then focus on best risk management practices, policies, and procedures to achieve a reduction in liability, regulatory compliance and improved reimbursements. In addition, solutions will be proposed to emerging liability pertaining to HAI intervention bundles, computerization, and failure to comply with inadequate/poorly defined legislation. Finally, recouping loss of reimbursements through an insurance mechanism will be delineated.
