The education and training of all employees is extremely important at UBMD, as they are a vital line of defense in a compliance program. Education is included as one of the seven essential elements of a compliance program as outlined by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Office of Inspector General guidelines. As such, they are an integral part of the UBMD Compliance Plan.
Our training program includes two units - one for providers, and one for staff or non-providers. Both include Federal and State required training, as well as training required by the UBMD Compliance Plan. This training program will be used both for annual training and for new hires. New hires should be instructed to complete the respective training unit upon hire.
Once you finish reading all of the materials in your respective unit, you must complete a short quiz and sign the attestation included in the unit stating that you have received and read the materials, that you understand the content, and that you agree to maintain compliance with any and all applicable policies, procedures and requirements.
In addition, you are attesting that you will incorporate the principles and requirements of this training into your daily work practices, and that you understand that you may be held accountable for any and all of your actions or omissions that conflict with the information and standards provided in this training program.
Question #11 on the quiz will be where you “sign” the attestation.
If you have any questions regarding this training, please contact Sue Marasi at smmarasi@buffalo.edu.
