It is rare that I push or endorse any product on this site. This is an exception worth making.

The book is authored by my wife who also heads the Clinical Compliance practice within H2 Healthcare, LLC – the firm that I head. She is our Senior Partner as well as the firm’s Chief Operating Officer. Honestly, no one knows more about compliance from an operations perspective, in the post-acute industry, particularly SNFs, Hospice, Assisted Living, etc. than she does.
What makes this book a “must have” are the resources and tools contained, in one place. She has shared a wealth of resources accumulated over her decades of practice, updated and put to use daily with clients, in her work. For SNFs today, survey and compliance are linked and as so many of you have heard (or read) from me, the single most important aspect in obtaining quality-mix, keeping premium payments low on insurance packages, attaining favorable borrowing terms and eliminating unwarranted fines and forfeitures while having in-place, a de facto risk management and fraud prevention program is best-practice, clinical compliance. This book will help a facility get there and stay survey ready; and clinically compliant.
This is a unique and worthy work as providers can gain first-hand insights on compliance and survey readiness from an expert who has led more deficiency free surveys, overturned more fines and forfeitures at the appeal and IDR level, and saved more clients and facilities untold millions of dollars in fines and forfeitures than perhaps, any other consultant and executive in the country. I know, the word “biased” will come to mind but in this case, the work product will speak for itself.
