title: Compliance plans within the organizational context of physician practices. What may need to change?
abstract: The Office of the Inspector General's (OIG's) compliance guidelines for individual and small group practices will require a range of operational changes. This is part 2 of a two-part article describing the guidelines' impact on small--and in some cases large--practices, and the ways to meet their requirements. Part 1 appeared in the September/October 2000 issue of MGM Journal. The author presented questions that practices can use to assess the extent of operational and organizational changes necessary to integrate a compliance program. This second part addresses operational changes that may be necessary.
