I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and need an explanation.

In an effort to promote awareness of healthcare fraud and abuse, your facility’s compliance officer has asked you to write a report that illustrates the major laws that address and support prosecution. In your report, provide the following:

• A description and comparison of each law.
• Summary of the importance and benefits of legal and ethical behavior in healthcare.

Be sure to include all seven major laws covered in this module’s reading and provide a summary that will emphasize the importance of professional, legal, and ethical behavior in the healthcare workplace.

The length of your report should be 1-2 pages.

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is shown below:
