Red Flags for Fraud
The American College of Healthcare Executives Code of Ethics states that the healthcare executive shall, within the scope of his or her authority, "prevent fraud and abuse and aggressive accounting practices that may result in disputable financial reports." But how can an executive even hope to detect this growing phenomenon, much less prevent it? HealthLeaders Media contributor Richard Gray outlines potential red flags that could indicate fraud and that may protect your organization from an expensive problem.
