Learning the role of administrator on the job can be very difficult. The new administrator may be familiar with their particular practice or with the Conditions of Participation but much less familiar with payer requirements, fraud and abuse, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA), Department of Labor wage and hour issues and a host of other state and federal regulatory requirements. Add to these the operational issues that include budgets, scheduling, corporate oversight and training, recruiting and retention of all staff and you have quite the list of responsibilities.
