Introduction
The world of health care regulation and accreditation is a complex and ever-changing one.
E�ective management in the world of health care requires a �rm grasp on the regulatory
and compliance situation of each facility within a system. And that situation will vary widely
with the type of facility.
In this activity, you will investigate the di�erent regulatory and compliance situations faced
by di�erent facilities.
Educational Goals
After completing the activity, you will be prepared to:
Understand accreditation and regulatory compliance in di�erent kinds of health care
facilities.
Explain key regulating bodies and compliance issues.
You are a quality assurance (QA) manager at Vila Health, a medium-sized health care
system operating hospitals and other health care facilities throughout the upper
Midwestern United States.
A recent Minnesota Department of Health inspection of Vila Health’s Clarion Court Skilled
Nursing facility went very poorly, with many lapses in procedure and documentation
discovered and cited. This poor audit, combined with the constant state of �ux within the
medical regulatory world, creates a recognition that the regulation and compliance
circumstances of Vila Health’s facilities are not properly documented or understood.
