As a recipient of financial reimbursement from the federal and state government for medical services provided to Medicare and Medicare patients, UConn Health is subject to the many laws that govern the Medicare and Medicaid programs. To help our employees navigate through these rules, the Office of Healthcare Compliance launched a healthcare specific training on December 20, 2019. This training is in addition to the University Compliance training, which focuses on institution-wide compliance topics, like the Code of Conduct and the State Code of Ethics. The Healthcare Compliance training includes an overview of the prevention of fraud, waste and abuse, financial conflicts of interest in healthcare and other top healthcare compliance topics.
Because Uconn Health is a diverse environment not every topic in the training will apply to all. However, all employees should be aware of certain healthcare compliance topics to be sure that the institution supports a culture of compliance.
If you have not yet competed the training, log into the Saba Online Learning Center and access “My Learning”. The Healthcare Compliance trainings are titled:
- 2019 Annual Healthcare Compliance Training
- 2019 Compliance Risks and Strategies
The training’s deadline for completion is March 19, 2020. Failure to complete the training by the deadline could result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
The Privacy Office and the Office of IT Security annual trainings share the deadline of March 19 for training completion. Please be sure to also complete:
- 2019 Security Awareness Training
