ABSTRACT
Introduction The integration of a CBR compliance program with a corporate compliance program varies significantly, depending on the size and diversity of the healthcare organization in question. For a small hospital or a single medical clinic, both programs may be totally integrated, have common personnel, and share a single compliance manual and associated policies and procedures. The chief compliance officer (CCO) will directly handle CBR compliance issues. For larger organizations including teaching centers, multihospital systems, and integrated delivery systems, the CBR compliance program will most likely be distinct from the corporate program in terms of manuals, activities, and personnel. In these larger settings, CBR compliance personnel may constitute a separate unit that reports to the CCO.
