APHC Compliance offers "hands on experience" within the industry, with the ability to provide customized, cost-effective approaches that bring results and are sustainable versus competitors who may provide a generic, "vanilla" set of solutions and products.

We provide ongoing Compliance Advisory Services ("Compliance Officer Adjunct") to assist organizations who don’t have staff with experience in all areas of Compliance or require expertise that may be hard to recruit and retain.

Sound compliance advice is important today. With the ongoing release of new regulations, including new HIPAA requirements mandated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the HITECH provisions, and new requirements for compliance programs, such as New York State’s compliance program guidelines and certification requirements, the integrity of your Compliance Program is critical to your success and reputation.
