CDII developed checklists to support the Compliance Oversight team’s assessment of the artifacts (documentation) requested during the Compliance Oversight process. Our goals during the creation of the checklists were to ensure:

• All pertinent criteria (i.e., HIPAA, state regulations) are considered when assessing documentation compliance
• Objectivity and credibility in our review process
• A defined and repeatable review process

CDII reviews these checklists on an annual basis to ensure accuracy and currency with updates to state and federal regulations.

CDII recommends use of these checklists by state entities to self-assess their compliance and determine areas of risk or non-compliance.
