Who is responsible for auditing medical director services and compliance with the medical director policies and procedures?
If no such auditing is occurring, the board should request that future audits occur and that reports on the results of those audits are provided to the relevant committee(s) of the board. Moreover, even if internal audits are being conducted—and especially if internal audits are identifying problems—the board should insist that the organization engage an outside reviewer (through legal counsel in order to protect the findings through the applicable legal privileges) to identify ways to ensure the agreements are compliant.
