i1C serves as a resource to the healthcare industry in compliance program development, implementation and ongoing management. Our consultants have over 25 years of operational experience in various sectors of the healthcare industry including regulatory compliance, quality improvement and staff education. We are a firm small enough to tailor everything we do to meet the unique needs of our clients. i1C consultants are in Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Omaha. Areas of Expertise include: • Compliance Risk Assessments / Gap Analysis • Compliance Program Effectiveness Evaluation • Compliance Program Development and Ongoing Management • Education and Training • Audits and evaluation tools to monitor internal compliance controls and identify gaps • Policy and Procedure / Code of Conduct development • Compliance Issue Investigation and Resolution • Assistance with Regulatory Agency Investigations and Audits (RACs, MICs, MACs) • Interim Compliance Staffing • Virtual Compliance Resource (expert resource for compliance program management for facilities that do not need full time/on-site compliance staff) We started this consulting business to help healthcare organizations understand their regulatory obligations, and to assist with the development and ongoing management of effective compliance and education programs, and quality improvement efforts. We believe that having an effective compliance program helps to improve the quality of care that patients receive and lowers the costs of healthcare overall by reducing business errors. We also believe that when staff is aware of their company's commitment to ethics, employee morale increases. We have implemented and managed comprehensive compliance programs for hospitals, outpatient clinics, physician offices, long-term care facilities, and commercial payers. i1C offers several contract models including virtual compliance retainer packages, interim staffing and projects on a case by case basis.
