Healthcare Regulatory Compliance

While administrators of healthcare institutions work to maintain safe facilities, keeping up with the demands of changing industry regulations can be a challenge.

A Facility Lifeline

We work with clients to provide a lifecycle approach to regulatory compliance. Through this practice, the representatives of a healthcare system work with the Gannett Fleming leadership team to identify potential deficiencies as part of regular operations and develop plans to correct any issues. We also assist clients with immediate, pressing needs if a crisis should occur. Regulatory compliance can save lives, save money, build patient trust, improve image, reduce personnel stress, and position a facility for a state of continuous readiness. Facilities that do not comply with regulatory requirements run the risk of jeopardizing patient care, closing down, losing business market share, and making costly unexpected repairs.

Benefits:

• Manage risks
• Realize more financial control
• Gain regulatory intelligence
• Improve contract management
• Avoid costly and more reactive response once non-compliance is detected
• Operate in a state of continuous readiness

Regulatory Compliance Services:

• Identify best practices for a facility’s approach to life safety, which involves:
• an environment of care (safety, security, fire safety, biomedical equipment engineering, and utilities/plant operations management)
• consulting and outsourcing
• emergency management
• Proactively identify and help coordinate and resolve non-compliance issues
• Develop automated workflows and plans to manage corrective actions
• Troubleshoot potential areas of concern before an inspection
