Health care general counsel should review and brief their internal clients on the new Practical Guidance for Health Care Governing Boards on Compliance Oversight (Guidance), released on April 20, 2015. A joint effort by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Association of Healthcare Internal Auditors, the American Health Lawyers Association (AHLA) and the Health Care Compliance Association, the Guidance is a useful and timely resource for both the general counsel and the board.
