Effective Compliance Systems

On March 20-21, 2001, a forum on "Effective Compliance Systems" was held at the University of Texas-Austin and funded by the Allan O. Hinkle Memorial Award Fund. This forum addressed the development and implementation of effective institutional/organizational compliance systems in response to The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). While the forum was targeted specifically to college and university systems, health-care centers with medical schools or significant research components, and nonprofit research organizations, the content is relevant to compliance in any governmental agency or large company. Universities and other nonprofit institutions have experienced significant problems and fines because their systems have not been compliant with the increasingly complex laws and regulations.

The proceedings were published as Effective Compliance Systems: A Practical Guide for Educational Institutions (2001).
