Explanation:

Question 1 of 12

Protecting patient information (HIPAA - related) requires safeguarding it from unauthorized access, not just from other departments or visitors. Staff within the same department who aren't authorized also shouldn't access it, so the statement is incorrect.

In healthcare compliance, paying outside facilities/vendors for patient referrals can be a kickback (violates anti - kickback statutes). So Emory would never pay for patient referrals to avoid legal and compliance issues.

A compliance program in healthcare provides policies/procedures for admin to follow, reducing risks like federal investigations. The second option about listing non - compliant vendors to Medicare/Medicaid is not a core function of a compliance program for reducing error/risk.

Answer:

B. No
