Master Healthcare Regulations and Compliance
Helping businesses innovate and align with compliance standards in healthcare
The next wave of rules and regulations from CMS that lays down several compliance requirements for Health Plans will have massive implications on technology, workflow process, and business. Healthcare regulations and compliance ensure that health plans adhere to CMS rules and industry standards. Nalashaa provides expert services to help healthcare organizations stay compliant, avoid penalties, and streamline operations. The latest standards (FHIR and USCDI) and rules (Interoperability and Patient Access; Transparency in Coverage) are pushing health plans to relook at their IT landscape. While these compliances are challenging, they present an opportunity for health plans to piggyback on these changes to derive tangible business value.
