What we provide in this manual are Best Practice Standards by which healthcare compliance programs and their component parts can be judged as not only meeting and exceeding all external requirements, but as equal to or better than the best known compliance program practices. The target we are aiming at is moving, as we have learned from running the Healthcare Best Compliance Practices Forum over the past decades. Practices that were outstanding in 1995 would not even contend for a Best Practice Award in 2012.

The Best Compliance Practices Forum is the annual event that recognizes outstanding compliance performance in health care organizations. It brings together health care compliance professionals, senior executives and leading compliance experts in a vendor free learning environment. This Forum is the compliance educational event of the year according to attendees at the Forums since 1995.

From the Preface:

"It is as if some missing ingredient keeps our organizations from working. One of the hardest problems of management is simply finding this missing ingredient. The very persistence of the hard problems suggests something is radically wrong in the dictionary sense of 'radical,' meaning to the very root. My objective is to say what is wrong and more important, to start making it right"

(Mark Pastin, The Hard Problems of Management, preface).
