Complete your Week 3 required discussion prompt.

After you read the assigned chapters and complete the interactive lesson and compliance officer scenario for this week, address the following:

Think about the last time you or a family member had to go to the emergency room. Without giving any details of the patient information, discuss how many (and the type of) forms you were given to fill out by hand or electronically before seeing a medical professional or having a procedure. What do you believe could be done to simplify this experience at a hospital in which you may be the compliance officer someday? Do you believe you will pay more or less attention to medical forms the next time you enter a facility as a patient? Why? Justify your response.

Be sure to correctly cite and reference your responses.
