Situation
As COVID-19 rapidly evolved into an infectious disease pandemic, the Company recognized the urgent need to develop and implement a strategy to protect its employees and the individuals it serves.
Our Role
FTI Consulting Health Solutions provided an Interim Chief Compliance and Quality Officer (CCQO) to restructure and direct the Company’s compliance program, with a new focus on client safety and quality of care.
The CCQO assumed the role shortly before Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States on January 31, 2020 in response to the 2019 novel coronavirus.
With FTI’s assistance, the Company quickly responded by implementing preparedness principles for emerging infectious diseases developed by the CDC and WHO for the SARS pandemic, in combination with OSHA guidance for preparing workplaces for an influenza pandemic, adapting them to the specific needs of a home-based community services provider in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following outline summarizes the Company’s comprehensive efforts to provide for the safe and orderly delivery of services, which was developed and implemented with assistance from FTI Consulting specialists.
