Healthcare Corporate Governance

Compass HR & Compliance supports healthcare organizations with board-level governance and Compliance solutions that strengthen oversight and reduce risk. We partner with MSOs and professional corporations to align operations, ensure regulatory Compliance, and deliver practical guidance that drives sustainable success.

A well-defined governance structure reduces confusion and ensures decisions are made at the right level. We help create a defensible framework that supports Compliance while enabling efficient operations across both entities. 

  • Structure Design & Assessment: Build or evaluate governance frameworks for clarity and Compliance 

  • Board Roles & Composition: Define roles, structure, and reporting lines 

  • Decision Authority: Establish clear decision-making boundaries 

  • Regulatory Alignment: Ensure Compliance with CPOM and state requirements

Successful MSO/PC models depend on effective collaboration between entities. We help streamline communication, align workflows, and reduce friction in day-to-day operations. 

  • Communication Protocols: Streamline communication and escalation processes 

  • Workflow Alignment: Improve coordination between MSO and PC operations 

  • Leadership Alignment: Facilitate consistent, aligned decision-making 

  • Integration Support: Guide alignment during growth, acquisitions, or change

Clear separation of clinical and administrative responsibilities is critical in MSO/PC models. We help eliminate ambiguity, reduce Compliance risk, and ensure both entities operate within appropriate boundaries. 

  • Role Definition: Clearly separate clinical and administrative responsibilities 

  • Boundary Setting: Establish compliant operational boundaries

  • MSA Support: Operationalize management services agreements (non-legal)

  • Accountability Mapping: Define who owns decisions and execution

  • Governance Policies: Develop clear, consistent governance frameworks 

  • Ethics & Code of Conduct: Promote accountability and ethical standards 

  • Conflict of Interest: Manage and mitigate potential conflicts
