For this assignment, you will develop and submit two (2) Committee Member Recommendation Sheets (CMRS). As explained on the Course Project - Introduction page, in order to accomplish this -- for each CMRS -- you will need to:
- Identify a specific Law/Regulation/Standard that each healthcare facility needs to be aware of and comply with during regular business in the USA.
- Determine who (which job title) at the Livewell facility should monitor for that particular Law/Regulation/Standard.
- This determination is made by identifying who, by virtue of their normal role at Livewell, is the most likely person that would identify risk for breaking this law. This person will be recommended for the Compliance Committee by completing a Committee Member Recommendation Sheet (CMRS).
- Download this list of Compliance Committee Member Options with brief descriptions to assist your decision-making process.
- Download the Committee Member Recommendation Sheet (CMRS) template. This template contains further guidance and complete instructions describing how to complete a CMRS. You will complete one of these for each of the 6 required CMRS in this project.
- Download a Sample Completed (CMRS) to help guide your efforts.
Part A: Course Project Narrative
Write a 2 page narrative in the template provided, using proper spelling and
grammar, which contains:
- A thesis statement for this assignment.
- A table that lists each of the laws/regulations/standards that you identified in Course Project submissions for Parts A, B, and C.
- 2 to 3 sentences justifying your recommendation for each of the 6 Committee Members.
- These justifications will help hospital administration understand and evaluate the reasoning behind your recommendations for each Compliance Committee Member.
- Note: 2 to 3 sentences for each of the 6 committee members would result in 12 to 18 complete sentences total taken from submissions for Parts A, B and C.
