Medical Laboratory Observer published its first online exclusive article: Recent prosecutions of clinical labs for fraud: Practices to avoid, on April 12, 2024.
In the article, Shelley Slade, Esq. describes recent fraud prosecutions of clinical labs and ways similar outcomes can be avoided. She says, “To achieve a fully compliant business, lab managers are well advised to stay up to speed on law enforcement activity and to create a culture that encourages employees to promptly raise their concerns about potential illegal activity. Such a culture is one in which managers reward rather than penalize whistleblowers and respond swiftly when concerns are raised.”
This is the first in a series of articles to be published exclusively on the MLO website.
