Rehab Associates of Central Virginia Reduces Privacy and Compliance Costs with MOAT

Lincoln, NE, February 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- What started out in 1966 as a small physical therapy practice, RACV has evolved into a thriving group of nine strategically located practices throughout Central Virginia. ITGS Consulting (a member of Awareity’s Strategic Alliance Program) and RACV’s management recognized that success in the 21st century depends on all employees (and third-parties) understanding their individual roles and responsibilities. MOAT’s web-based tools empower RACV’s managers to upload organization-specific training presentations, case studies, policies, procedures, plans, roles, checklists, guidelines, etc. into a secure Awareness Vault and share documents with appropriate personnel on an ongoing basis and in real-time as updates and changes are made. RACV’s management knows that risks are constantly changing, and it is critical for employees to receive ongoing situational awareness, customized training, policy updates and reminders throughout the year, as once a year training approaches are not keeping up.

By utilizing MOAT, RACV is multiplying their cost savings across multiple departments by reducing lost productivity and travel time, while also improving audit-ready and legal-ready documentation for:

- Regulatory Compliance - Human Resources
- Legal Due Diligence - Business Continuity
- Medicare Manuals (for PTs/PTAs/Billing) - Safety and Security
- Information Security/Privacy - Employee Handbooks

RACV implemented MOAT on November 1 and within one month; over 90% of personnel had completed their individual awareness requirements and certification. All individual certifications are automatically tracked and documented, and administrators have access to on-demand progress reporting and preparedness metrics.

MOAT also provides RACV access to Awareity’s new TIPS (Threat Assessment, Incident Management and Prevention Services). TIPS empowers employees and third-parties to confidentially report incidents (bullying, workplace violence, breaches, employment issues, ethical issues, etc.). Workplace violence is an increasing concern for health care organizations and TIPS can prevent expensive and tragic incidents from occurring.
