Enforcement of Disciplinary Standards. The
OIG places special emphasis on a hospital's duty to enforce
disciplinary standards. When
assessing
internal disciplinary efforts, hospitals are advised to take
into account the following
factors:
- Does the hospital uniformly and consistently enforce disciplinary
standards?
- Are employees, contractors, and medical staff
checked, at least annually, against government sanctions lists,
including the
OIG's List of Excluded
Individuals/Entities (LEIE) and the General Services
Administration's Excluded Parties Listing System?
H.E.L.P. Level 2
Includes Level 1 with the addition of disciplinary action
information from multiple agencies in the state of your choice.
H.E.L.P.
Level 3
Includes Level 1 with the addition disciplinary action
