Compliance in healthcare
Many healthcare facilities, regardless of size, have been able to put in place compliance programs. However, it is noted that the compliance programs differ as one moves from one facility to the other. This paper aims to provide an example of the two different facilities while describing them and outlining how the compliance programs differ from such settings. An example of a large hospital facility will be the Aga Khan University Teaching and Referral Hospital while an example of a small facility will be MP Shah Hospital.
Just but a brief overview of the two facilities, Aga Khan University Teaching and Referral Hospital, as the name suggests, is one of the biggest facilities as it offers both teaching and referral services. This is unlike MP Shah Hospital, which is a private practice that has not been so established well enough. An analysis of the two facilities shows that there is a difference in compliance among them. For instance, there is a disparity in the initial requirements placed on each with that for the large Aga Khan University Teaching and Referral Hospital being that it needs to perform internal and external audits, unlike MP Shah Hospital which does not have such a requirement in place. Given this reason, the Aga Khan University Teaching and Referral Hospital has a more thorough audit program than MP Shah Hospital.
Last but not least, the need to perform monitoring and evaluation of the compliance program in place is the other factor that can explain the reason for the disparities over the same. Since Aga Khan University Teaching and Referral Hospital is a larger facility than MP Shah Hospital, it has put in place many metrics that can be used to evaluate its compliance. As a result, it has a tougher compliance program than its counterpart MP Shah (Joint Commission on Accreditation Health, 2011).
