LifeLink Foundation Selects Compliance 360
Leading Health Care Organization chooses Compliance 360 to optimize
compliance management across its divisions including those regulated
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Atlanta, GA—August 16, 2006 — LifeLink Foundation, a
leading health care organization responsible for the recovery and
transplantation of organs and tissue, selected Compliance 360 as
its policy and procedure compliance solution for all Foundation divisions
including those regulated by the federal government. With this solution,
LifeLink will organize and centralize documentation storage, automate
workflow between divisions located in West Central Florida, Georgia
and Puerto Rico, and link all policies and procedures to the pertinent
regulations and standards governing organ and tissue recovery. This
strategic move assists in the organization’s initiative to
reduce manual processes, improve agility, and provide greater visibility
to overall compliance status.
“We chose Compliance 360 because their solution fit our needs
and has the ability to integrate with our learning management system,” stated
Art Heinrichs, Vice President, Corporate Compliance Officer, LifeLink
Foundation, Inc. “Our mission of saving lives through organ
and tissue donation and transplantation involves many policies, procedures,
state and federal guidelines. Since we have multiple locations we
believe the hosted, on-demand solution fits perfectly into our day
to day operations. Compliance 360 allows all of our divisions - regardless
of location - the ability to access, collaborate, and manage documents
while demonstrating compliance Foundation-wide.”
“LifeLink selected our policy and procedure management system
as an important component of their comprehensive governance, risk,
and compliance (GRC) management. An effective GRC program will help
protect their brand, reduce risks, improve efficiencies, and enhance
global visibility of compliance activities,” said Steve McGraw,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Compliance 360, Inc. “We
are excited to have LifeLink join our customer community and we look
forward to assisting them in achieving their overall strategy and
goals.”
“The Compliance 360 solution is seamlessly integrated with
our web learning platform, an integral part of LifeLink’s intranet
web based Content Management System (CMS) redesign project. Several
solutions were evaluated including the internally-developed Microsoft
SharePoint and CoraWorks web components, stated John Rhon, Vice president
of Information Systems, LifeLink Foundation, Inc. “The Compliance
360 Policy and Procedure solution had more advanced automated workflow
functionality, stronger collaboration features and enhanced single
sourcing of documentation to manage our web based document and content
management cycle.”
