Ep.124: Compliance and Ethics Q&A with Expert Daniel Hirsch, DPT

This week we are once again addressing the topic of Compliance rules and regulations, policies & procedures - arguably the weakest area for most PT Owners. Never fear, this stuff isn’t rocket science! More times than not, folks run into trouble innocently and accidentally simply from a lack of knowledge of the regulations. As PTs, we know you want to do the right thing and help people, so learn what you don’t know to avoid inadvertent mistakes. 

Episode at a glance: 

• It’s best to have a committee with a Compliance Officer and regular meetings - you need a team approach 
• Your employees need to understand what the standards of practice are 
• Make sure you’re emailing securely 
• You cannot induce a referral 
• It costs far less to take preventative measures versus facing a problem/breach 
• Cybersecurity is very important
