Once an error has been identified and the provider educated, what is recommended to ensure compliance improves?

• A. Frequent continued focused audits on the specified error.
• B. Continued random audits for the practice with increased frequency.
• C. Continued annual audits.
• D. Once the auditor has educated the provider, there is no further obligation.

Answer: (A)

Ongoing, targeted monitoring after education ensures lasting improvement by directly checking that the specific issue has been corrected and is not drifting back into old practices. When you educate a provider about a particular error, the next crucial step is to keep a close eye on that exact area to confirm adherence to the correct process. Frequent audits focused on the same error provide timely feedback, help quantify how much improvement has occurred, and reveal any remaining gaps that coaching or system changes need to address. This approach creates a feedback loop that reinforces the new behavior and supports continuous quality improvement. Broader or less focused auditing, like random audits without tying them to the specific issue, or only annual checks, don’t provide the same ongoing visibility into whether the exact problem remains solved. Once education has occurred, there is still an expectation to monitor performance to prevent regression and ensure sustained compliance. Frequential continued focused audits on the specified error are recommended.
