Compliance & Risk Management

Women's Health Connecticut has developed the tools required for physician practices to meet the many compliance standards. We provide:

• Standard training and documentation materials to meet requirements with training that can be done in the office with a train-the-trainer program.
• Templates to establish a site-specific compliance program.
• Compliance Hotline offering employees a confidential way to address their concerns.
• Consultative Services to identify risk areas and tools for monitoring.
• Continuing Education to keep up with new standards.
• Standard OSHA Training simplifying requirements in an easy to manage format.

We have built a full captive insurance company and provide underwriting and credentialing guidelines, funding analyses, risk management policies and procedures, accounting functions, tax filings and claims management. We'll put it all together to help determine the right programs for you.

Reducing risk by identifying it.

Based on the type of insurance program you purchase, we work with your carrier and broker to perform site assessments to identify areas of risk exposure. We track group and site trending and make risk-reducing recommendations; we develop programs and identify products to help deliver a system-wide risk management program. Areas reviewed include record retention, documentation templates, consent forms and more, to make sure you and your practice are covered.

Our Risk Management specialists have established sound policies and procedures for your protection and peace of mind. They cover everything from reporting potential liability cases and assessing the value of a claim, to criteria for assigning defense counsel to outlining procedures for effective communication among all parties.

Litigation guidelines cover initial contacts, investigations, procuring of medical examinations, discovery and depositions, motions, cross-claims and third-party actions, research, reporting and settlements. We've also built Peer Review and Incident procedures to provide standards for internal review of potential claims, recommendations regarding risk assessment and reduction, and physician monitoring, reporting and premium reallocation.
