Conducted on the model of the Healthcare Best Compliance Practices Forum, Compliance Vision targets practices that may be worthy of Best Practice recognition but do not yet have enough history to qualify. We are also seeking submissions by organizations which intend to seek a Best Practice award in 2008 or 2009 but would like pre-submission feedback.
Please call 703-683-7916 for further information.
