title: It's that time of year again: have you read the 2013 Office of Inspector General work plan?
abstract: The Work Plan is useful because it gives providers a preview of many of the OIG’s enforcement priorities planned for fiscal year 2013.Wound care providers should take advantage of this opportunity to determine how to focus their compliance program activities over the next 12 months.Wound care providers should read the Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2013 for further information and references about the OIG issues. The Work Plan will help you to identify corporate compliance risk areas that you should audit and for which you should create/upgrade policies. Be sure to read the document and take a proactive approach by conducting internal audits to identify areas of improvement that you can make before you receive an external audit.
