What are the new legal, regulatory, and compliance issues in 2022?
As a lab leader, it’s imperative that you be up to date on legal, regulatory, and compliance issues that threaten clinical laboratories and pathology groups. In 2022, numerous obstacles will hinder growth. At the same time, scheduled changes will go into effect. For example, while the No Surprises Act may seem straightforward, confusion persists over which of a laboratory’s referral sources should be of most concern for lab administrators.
Also, did you know that hospitals are asking pathology groups and pathologist-owned labs to sign expansive data security amendments? For labs, these decisions can be expensive—the ramifications impractical. It is absolutely critical to know how to respond to such ominous requests while protecting your operation from data breaches and security incidents.
