Methods to Publicize Disciplinary Standards
42 C.F.R. §§ 422.503(b)(4)(vi)(E), 423.504(b)(4)(vi)(E)
To encourage good faith participation in the compliance program, sponsors must
publicize disciplinary standards for employees and FDRs. The standards should include
the duty and expectation to report issues or concerns. The following are examples of the
types of publication mechanisms that could be used:
• Newsletters;
• Regular presentations at department staff meetings;
• Communications with FDRs;
• General compliance training;
• Intranet site;
• Posters prominently displayed throughout employee work and break areas; and
• Cafeteria table tents.
