With 1,000’s of Federal regulations, as well as those varying from state to state, it is very difficult to manage all the regulations that apply in each jurisdiction. Most organizations struggle to keep up with changing regulations and ensure that the appropriate personnel are notified of subsequent changes to standard operating procedures. Compliance 360 offers integrated access to the broadest available selection of legal and regulatory content available in the industry today. This is accomplished through our direct links that include two of the world’s leading legal and regulatory content databases, LexisNexis and the Westlaw database from Thomson Reuters.

At the heart of the Compliance 360 solution, the Regulatory & Content Repository is used to gather actionable laws and regulations into a central content repository and provide automated alerts for any changes and disseminate the appropriate information to targeted individuals throughout your organization.

The Incident Management module helps you manage a wide variety of issues such as fraud hotline tips, potential fraud and abuse occurrences, audit findings and legal cases. Incident Management collects, stores, and allows your departmental personnel to collaborate on compliance-related incident information and track the progress of investigations. All incident information can be included in reports and graphically represented to demonstrate trends and correlations. Compliance managers will frequently use this area for audit committee meetings and board meeting presentations, as well as external audits and regulatory examinations.

The Virtual Evidence Room™ provides a collection point where all your compliance activities are easily tracked and linked back to the related laws, regulations or standards. The unique Virtual Evidence Room facilitates any type of audit, investigation or survey.

The Virtual Evidence Room ensures that you are always audit-ready with one verifiable version of the truth.

With 1,000’s of Federal regulations, as well as those varying from state to state, you need the ability to determine key risk areas across your various divisions.

With Compliance 360, you can automatically monitor compliance status using a complete suite of assessment tools that include the ability to distribute risk assessment surveys to targeted employees via e-mail.

With complex legal requirements related to third-party service providers (TSPs), agent agreements and business associate agreements, keeping track of all your contractual obligations is essential. With Contract Management, you can create, manage and organize contracts for improved access, collaboration, revisions approvals, and version control. The system provides automatic e-mail alerts when contracts require review. This is often used in conjunction with the Survey Module to ensure compliance throughout the virtual organization of business partners.

Effective project management within an organization most often requires centralized coordination of multiple resources across a variety of departments, disciplines and objectives.

Because of mandates concerning conflict of interest, employee satisfaction and general requirements for rooting out fraud and abuse, compliance officers carry the significant burden of collecting and managing vast amounts of data. The Survey module helps you create and manage customizable surveys for any size population – from a few hundred to thousands of employees, contractors and other appropriate contacts across your entire network of third-party service providers (TSPs). With advanced features such as conditional questions, automated workflow and statistical charting, you can address survey / data collection requirements and zero in on otherwise-hidden conflicts of interest. Additionally, the Survey module can be used to address requirements such as attestations, controls testing and audits. Survey distribution and summarization can be automated for an unlimited number of respondents.

All publicly traded healthcare organizations are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act in the U.S. and a growing number of privately held organizations are electing to comply with the “best practices” of Sarbanes-Oxley for a variety of reasons such as maintaining adequate bond ratings. Complex and cumbersome spreadsheets do not provide the capability to manage the data for governance, risk and compliance initiatives. Compliance 360’s SOX solution is an integrated part of the single, holistic compliance platform. With this solution, you can manage internal controls for financial reporting while integrating all aspects of SOX compliance such as controls monitoring and testing, documentation, risk evaluation and measurement and monitoring with the enterprise governance, risk and compliance strategy.

Many organizations have limited information technology (IT) resources. These resources are generally dedicated to the core business functions tied to revenue generation. As a result, it is often difficult for non-core business functions to compete successfully for these limited IT resources. Compliance 360 is designed from the ground up as a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. Because of the SaaS design, Compliance 360 is provided as an online service, with no software or hardware to install. This allows you to be up and running quickly, often in less than 60 days with little or no overhead created for the IT department.
