Atlanta, GA. – July 21, 2007 – Compliance 360, Inc., a provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management software, today announced that Carilion Clinic, a leading healthcare provider in Southwestern Virginia has selected Compliance 360 to automate and manage regulatory compliance initiatives within their Physician Support Operations.

With more than 400 primary care and specialty staff physicians spread across 100 practice locations, Carilion Clinic is committed to finding innovative solutions to meet their patients’ health needs and that same philosophy applies to managing the business of healthcare. “I had the good fortune to experience the value of Compliance 360’s application suite in a prior career role and I knew immediately that managing the business of 400+ physicians could only succeed if I had those same capabilities here”, stated Jonathon Arrington, Vice President of Physician Services for Carilion Clinic.

Carilion Clinic selected the Compliance 360 platform for its extensive product breadth, user-friendly interface, and efficient implementation. Based on prior experience with Compliance 360, Carilion Clinic’s Physician Support Operations leadership expects to be exercising the application’s capabilities within weeks. Carilion Clinic anticipates significant utilization of Compliance 360’s project and contract management modules as well as risk assessments, surveys, and incident management modules.

“We are building a world class organization here and we will continue to recruit the best physician candidates available. That means that I need to keep track of very specific contract provisions and I can’t imagine accomplishing my responsibilities without Compliance 360,” says Chuck Sawyers, Director, Physician Support Operations. “Not only do I receive alerts through email when certain provisions or milestones have been met, but the reporting capabilities are phenomenal. We have to manage practice operations with our minds on HIPAA, Stark II, and CMS/OIG requirements. With over 100 locations to monitor; you can’t manage that through Excel TM, Outlook TM and phone calls.”
