Internal Regulatory System

Each organization must have a structure of the authority defined and distributed to help in the organization of the tasks and functions with the aim of achieving the objectives of the organization. An organization structure offers details of the formal structure of the authority in the organization. It is essential to study the organization structure of the organization in order to understand the functioning of the organization. This paper examines the organization structure of the nursing department in Kingston Centre hospital. The paper will look at the nursing and the nursing service management department in the hospital (Burke, 2013). The hospital is selected because I have been able to interact with the facility many times. I have been able to work in this department hence I understand the organization structure and the services offered in the department.

The Department of Health and Human Services currently are the seven national accreditation organizations that offer accreditation programs that are recognized for purposes of certifying the compliance of almost 7,000 hospitals, critical access hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, home health agencies, and hospices with Medicare health and safety standards (Lanham, 2013). These accredited health care facilities as having satisfied the health and safety standards

Although the Ombudsman program has no authority to set or enforce specific standards of care, the program has been found to be a positive, if under-resourced, influence on quality of care. Take for example, the government enforcement of quality

The organization encompasses all stakeholders while making strategic plans. It organizes meeting with residents and their family/relatives in order to obtain view from the eye of service receiver. LNC also conducts regular meeting with all the departments in order to find holistic solution for each individual residents, thereby maximizing their wellbeing. Periodic meetings are conducted between the administrators of all 17 community centers along with the main corporate office. Change in the State’s policy is also detrimental factor as State Health

A regulatory compliance examines the company’s ability to provide and regulate goods or services. For example, the reasoning for Health Insurance Portability and accountability act (HIPPA) uses inhouse and external auditing procedures is to identify if healthcare entities are acting in compliance, there is not a discretion with an employee or customer, and to identify a breach in operations (Davis, Schiller, & Wheeler, 2011). Some of these audits are mandated while others can be random just to ensure there is not a need for changes in procedures. Many enterprises are assessed in a HIPPA audit, including healthcare providers, clearinghouses, and insurance plans. During the Audit five components are studied within these organizations such

With the vast growth of industrialization way back in the 19 th century, concerns came on how these industries and technologies were impacting on the social, cultural and economic well-being of the people. The negative effects got overlooked with nobody to speak against them and protect livelihoods of the people. The federal government later then came up regulatory bodies to put industries on the check and see that they provide quality services and products that are not harmful to the people. Various types of regulation were set up. Product safety which charged with ensuring that we don't get exposed to products, services and technological processes that would otherwise be hazardous to our health. Rate setting regulation and market functioning

The health care facilities and organizations are owned and operated by largely private sector businesses. These health care facilities and organizations are managed by health care managers such as administrators and executives who play important roles to make sure the facilities and organizations are free of fraud, strong business objectives and policies, and a strong financial operational and medical operation. Like any other company, the health care organizations face with health care fraud and medical errors. Therefore, the management and the internal auditing come together and share their knowledge and tools to assess and evaluate the risks, issues and policies and make sure to there is not any risk of audit failure during the audit process.

The purpose of this project is to identify measures of internal control that ensures compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Act Section 404 and how the costs of compliance may be used to add business value for shareholders. The key requirements of SOX include definition, documentation, implementation, and assessment of effective controls to ensure the integrity of corporate financial information and the prompt reporting of material events that may affect the financial performance of the firm (Moeller, 2007). A survey conducted by Audit Analytics showed that internal control over financial reporting weaknesses from 2004 to 2005 improved, but still had companies with material weaknesses in both years (Bedard, 2007). This shows there is a need for more identification for continuous improvement. Threats to accounting systems come from various sources and can destroy the relevance and reliability of financial information, if ignored (Beard, 2007). Because IT governance defines the IT structuring measures, and monitoring framework, it should include business value (Robinson, 2005) and, since corporate governance drives and sets IT governance (Lainhart IV, 2000) the corporate governance is required for compliance with SOX Section 404. According to (Peterson, 2004), IT governance is the key to realizing IT business value. With the high costs of compliance that include the possible needing additional software and hardware, consultant engagements, additional

Use of identifying passcodes enables the company to establish responsibility by identifying the particular employee who carried out the activity and eliminate deception. This way whichever employee needs to access the petty cash desk drawer must use their confidential passcode. A note as an I.O.U is never considered an acceptable means of recording of a type of company transaction.

This clinical visit took place on November 2nd and we visited the occupational health office in Orange City Hospital.

The services that the occupational health nurses provide include hearing testing, pulmonary function tests, substance use tests, breathalyzer tests, head-to-toe assessments, vaccinations and much more.

Companies are directed and controlled by a system known as corporate governance, in which boards of directors are responsible for governing their companies. The board of directors have responsibilities such as setting strategy aims for the company, supervising management and providing leadership. They must also report to the shareholders on their duties as directors. Their actions are subject to laws and regulations, as well as the shareholders in a general meeting. The shareholders appoint directors and auditors and must satisfy themselves that the structure in place to govern the company is adequate, (Financial Reporting Council, 2014).

A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be appointed to nominate and manage the operation of the company as a whole. A Chief Operating Officer (COO) will be managing the company’s day-to-day operations and reports them to CEO. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will be managing the finance and account together with the
