Boston, MA – July 21, 2006: Patricia Trites, founder and CEO of Healthcare Compliance Resources, the nation's foremost provider of healthcare compliance training, is pleased to announce the release of her new book, Compliance Guide for the Medical Practice: How to Attain and Maintain a Compliant Medical Practice published by the American Medical Association. This breakthrough publication is the first medical compliance resource guide designed exclusively to medical practices comply with healthcare reimbursement, fraud and abuse, employment, OSHA, CLIA, and HIPAA laws.
 
For smaller practices, Trites's book couldn't come at a better time. Medical malpractice lawsuits are continuously on the rise, the cost of medical insurance is skyrocketing, and with a record number of changing rules and regulations to observe, more and more large medical organizations are hiring consulting teams and compliance officers to watch over their practices. For small organizations, however, their budgets just cannot afford to bring in this type of representation. Consequently, they either ignore the new compliance issues, or they turn their head nurse or office manager into a compliance officer even though the employee lacks the requisite knowledge. This inadequate management of the flood of new Medicare, HIPAA, and other national healthcare laws, could land these small organizations in hugely expensive lawsuits, and ultimately destroy their businesses.

Patricia Trites book provides the solution. She has created a comprehensive reference guide that gives readers a step-by-step approach to comply with healthcare laws. It enables medical organizations, large and small, to practice healthcare compliance easily, cost-efficiently, and with total confidence.

"The regulatory environment in healthcare today makes it almost impossible to maintain healthy business practices,” said Trites. “My goal in writing this book was to provide physicians and their practices with a comprehensive tool with reasonable and understandable explanations and examples to help them navigate the complex issues of compliance without having to drain their bank accounts."
