Rules and regulations relating to the delivery of healthcare and the conduct of research are complex. The consequences of failure to comply with these regulations, particularly in the areas of coding and billing health care claims and federal research grant claims can be severe.

Often conduct undertaken with the good intentions and inadequate knowledge violates applicable laws and regulations. At NYU Medical Center, both the faculty and staff are required to participate in training in order to acquire the knowledge and skills to carry out their responsibilities in compliance with all requirements. Proper and continuing training and education of faculty and staff at all levels is a significant element of our compliance program.
