No industry is beset by more complexity, both from a regulatory and financial perspective, than health care. At the same time, clinical and service expectations of those served by the industry continue to rise. Laws and regulations seem to change each day, resulting in more complicated compliance issues. It is increasingly difficult to stay on top of all of the issues facing the industry today - decreasing Medicare and Medicaid payments, increasing numbers of uninsured and underinsured, serious staffing shortages, uncontrolled malpractice insurance, the public’s concern over high costs of hospitalization, nursing home care and prescription drugs. Clearly, the health care industry is under a microscope.
