We've spent a lot of time this week talking about compliance and why WCBS pushes it so much, but now we want to know why you choose to be compliant. Why is compliance important to you?

Compliance doesn't stop at the end of this week. Compliance is a journey that never ends, and we have to remain diligent in our efforts to ensure we are remaining ethical and protecting client information.

A special shout out to our training curriculums for helping our teams develop their skills!

Ukeru Systems
The Sanctuary Institute
Focus 3

How does compliance fit in? It's simple—we need to stay compliant by:
•Training according to fidelity standards
•Completing certifications and recertifications with accrediting bodies
•Offering anonymous feedback surveys to find gaps
•Undergoing trainings annually to keep our knowledge current and ensure we efficiently use the skills daily

Do you enjoy training? What's your favorite aspect of it?

Quick! Compliance is calling - what words come to mind?!

Do you think about audits and immediately feel stressed?

We are constantly doing internal audits in our programs to ensure systems are being followed and documentation is being completed to standards. We invite external audits and have shifted our mindsets to see audits as opportunities to identify gaps and improve systems.

Hot take: we love audits!

that despite our service lines being vastly different, compliance and ethics looks the same for each of them at the end of the day?

Our ultimate goal is to protect client privacy, ensure ethical care, and prevent HIPAA breaches by being mindful of our surroundings and living a compliant lifestyle.

What do you do in your job/program to ensure that our clients information is safe and secure? Give yourself credit where credit is due - what do you do to ensure compliance?

It's National Corporate Compliance and Ethics Week, and you know what that means! It's time to participate and celebrate the folks doing the work!

Compliance is doing the right thing when no one's watching because you know it's right. When you think about your program, who comes to mind as a compliance superstar?

We can start! Trudy Umphress is our Administrative Assistant and is diligent in ensuring timeliness of documentation, compliance with maintaining certifications, and is an altogether Compliance Superstar! Shout out to you, Trudy! We are so grateful!
