Speaker argues that regulation exists to improve safety and patient outcomes and that healthcare compliance should be embedded into organizational processes rather than treated as an external add-on. They propose using AI and technology to parse and break down regulatory obligations, identify specific compliance requirements, track completion of related tasks, and provide a day-to-day picture of an organization’s compliance. The speaker (representing One Safe Workplace) says tech is necessary because human time and resources alone cannot keep up.
Ultimately, regulation legislation is in place to improve safety, to improve patient outcomes, et cetera. Now you mentioned AI there and you mentioned tech, et cetera. And we previously mentioned that the burden may become too great for people to both provide care and to remain compliant. But how I see this is that I think that compliance should be integrated into your organization, not as separate thing that is bolted onto the side. One safe workplace looked at this. We looked at various elements of how we could support the healthcare sector. And yes, report and risk management are a fundamental part of that. But what we looked at instead was, or in conjunction with this was what are the requirements, what do we need to do to be compliant? So, so what we're advocating is that you would use AI to break down your obligations so that you would be able to answer the question as to how can I be compliant? So you need to find out first what you need to do. So we have developed a system basically where we will identify your compliance requirements and then entrain with that. We will track those tasks as they are completed and ultimately we would hope, give you a clear picture on a day to day basis of how compliant your organization is. So yes, I think healthcare organizations are undoubtedly going to have to use tech to do this because time and human resources simply won't allow you to keep up to date with what you need to do.
