Monitoring in healthcare is a hot topic. In July, NCQA implemented new license expiration monitoring requirements. Yet, many organizations think about monitoring as a check-the-box need. Many feel that monthly point-in-time monitoring rather than continuous monitoring is enough to protect their organization and patients from bad actors. The truth is, relying solely on point-in-time monitoring exposes organizations to significant risks, including reputational damage and financial repercussions. To truly safeguard your organization and the patients you serve, it’s essential to embrace a comprehensive approach to continuous healthcare compliance monitoring. This proactive strategy empowers healthcare providers to stay ahead of potential threats, ensuring that their networks are secure and compliant.
What is Continuous Healthcare Monitoring?
Continuous healthcare monitoring is the ongoing process of verifying healthcare providers’ credentials, licenses, exclusions, and sanctions in real time. Unlike traditional point-in-time monitoring, which only checks records periodically, continuous monitoring provides instant alerts when changes occur.
Key aspects include:
- License monitoring – Ensuring all provider licenses remain active and in good standing.
- Exclusion monitoring – Detecting if a provider appears on federal or state exclusion lists.
- Compliance monitoring – Tracking workforce compliance with regulatory and organizational requirements.
By adopting continuous monitoring, healthcare organizations can reduce risk, maintain compliance, and respond quickly to changes that impact patient safety and operational integrity.
Here are three immediate reasons why continuous monitoring is needed to help protect your organization.
1. Be Alerted to Risks with Continuous Healthcare Compliance Monitoring
With continuous monitoring, your organization will be alerted as soon as a new finding or action is taken on your network. That means reduced risk for your organization’s reputation and potential financial impacts. Point-in-time monitoring will not alert you to these findings until the next monitoring event. Continuous monitoring ensures that your organization is ready for any changes in your network.
