Healthcare regulations are constantly evolving, with updates and new requirements introduced to enhance patient safety, data security, and care standards
However, staying ahead of these changes can be a challenge for healthcare providers, especially when paired with the day-to-day needs of patients and staff.
5-Tek is committed to dedicating a portion of our workforce to focus on the regulatory side of healthcare and implementing proactive strategies to help healthcare organizations adapt seamlessly to regulatory updates while maintaining efficiency.
Here are things we do to consistently keep our staff ahead of the curve on regulatory changes on every level.
Senior staff regularly monitor updates from governing bodies such as CMS, HHS, and state-level healthcare boards. We keep track of emerging trends, such as value-based care, telehealth policies, and stricter data protection laws, signal areas where regulations will evolve.
We determine and highlight a recent or upcoming regulatory change (e.g., changes to HIPAA rules regarding telehealth) and ensure our staff and the practices we work with are ready to adjust accordingly.
5-tek’s senior staff members as compliance leads to guide others and address questions about new regulations, focused on patient data security, coding and billing updates, and quality measures, for our own team and for yours through our regular compliance audits.
We ensure your electronic medical records system is updated to meet compliance requirements, such as ICD-11 readiness. 5-tek utilizes software solutions to streamline processes like medical billing, credentialing, and claims management. Discuss how 5-Tek provides EMR-agnostic remote staffing to help providers adapt to tech-driven compliance needs.
Regulatory changes often include updates to credentialing standards, making it essential to maintain accurate and timely records. In order to keep our cross-functional systems straight, we establish a central database for provider credentials and set reminders for expirations to ensure we and our clients remain up to date.
