Explain why it's important for health care workers to comply with federal, state, and local health laws and regulations as they relate to health care settings
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Violating a law, regulation, or policy can get you and your employer in serious trouble. You could end up fired, prosecuted, fined, or incarcerated. Your employer could face stiff fines and exclusion from vital government programs such as Medicare or Medicaid. Complying with laws, regulations, and policies because you have to is important, but there's more to it than that. Professionals comply because it is the right thing to do.
