and corporate healthcare practitioners and institutions, and tell the government about
developments in the industry, enforce more significant safety standards and work to
improve healthcare quality while adhering to local, state, and federal guidelines. Healthcare
compliance professionals are needed to help clinical institutions and organizations comply
with the ever-increasing government requirements that define patient privacy and usage
standards, maintain quality patient care, prevent fraud and protect healthcare staff.
Healthcare policy is significant because it aids in establishing guidelines that benefit
patients, healthcare organizations, and our healthcare system. Protocols can help to avoid
human error and poor communication when it comes to medical decisions. In the
healthcare industry and health insurance coverage, regulation is essential. The numerous
regulatory entities protect the public from various health risks and provide several public
health and welfare services. These regulatory authorities work together to protect and
control public health. The delivery of high-quality health care is part of the government’s
responsibility to safeguard and advance society’s interests. Strong cooperation between
federal, state, and local governments, as well as the business sector, will be required to
achieve the aim of high-quality treatment. Accreditation is a self-evaluation and external
peer assessment system used by health care institutions to measure their level of
performance by setting standards correctly and implementing ways to improve
consistently. The world is interested in hospital accreditation.Accreditation has been found
in studies to increase the overall quality of healthcare. Accreditation necessitates workers
holding themselves to high patient-care standards. This also enhances care quality by
reducing disparities in how different staff members and departments treat patients. The
accreditation’s primary purpose is to ensure that hospitals follow evidence-based
procedures and prioritize healthcare access, cost, efficiency, quality, and effectiveness. This
demonstrates that the accredited hospital will be recognized globally. Better performance

operations.I worked for an Insurance company’s quality department. We had an application
that was used by the clients called Cozeva. Cozeva allows organizations to keep track of the
CMS requirements. Physicians can identify their gaps in care. The Medicare Advantage
program requires that physicians participate in two different surveys. The Consumer
Assessment of Health Providers (CAHPS) and Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) survey. The
CAHPS is designed to assess patients’ experience with their health care providers’ visits.
The HOS survey is to gather patients to report quality of living data. Both of these surveys
are completed annually, and based on the star measures results, physicians can receive a
monetary bonus. Astrue, M. J. (1994). Health Care Reform and the Constitutional Limits on
