Here’s your chance to share your expertise and get a chance to win..... HCCA is seeking your contributions! Dear Compliance Professionals, HCCA is seeking contributions for a new manual on auditing and monitoring. Here’s a great opportunity to contribute to the association—and get a chance to win a laptop, a portable DVD player, or receive free registration for the HCCA Compliance Institute. We are asking health care professionals to share their tools and success stories that have aided their auditing and monitoring programs. We are interested in all aspects of auditing and monitoring. (If you would like, identifying information can be removed, so your organization can remain anonymous.) Everyone who submits materials will be entered into a drawing to win a laptop, a portable DVD player, or free registration to the Institute on April 23–26 in Las Vegas. You will be entered into the drawing for each audit tool you submit (i.e., two audit tool submissions equals two entries). Authors of accepted materials will be listed as contributors in the manual, if they wish. We look forward to receiving contributions from you.
