Describe specific solutions the compliance officer and Sue, the manager, should implement to prevent reoccurrence of the identified mistakes from part A1. B. Explain how the Health Informatics and Information Management (HIIM) Department staff could assume a leadership role in teaching compliance behaviors to the clinic’s staff members to mitigate legal risk. 1.
