“I\u2019ve worked with hundreds of clients of all sizes to develop Affirmative Action Plans and support them during audits. And, with the Federal Affirmative Action Audit letters now being served to hospital HR leaders, an influx of activity has been noticed around healthcare audit preparation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Prophecy<\/a><\/p>\n

Patrick Nooren, Biddle Consulting Group’s Executive Vice-President, was interviewed this week by Prophecy Healthcare<\/a>. During the interview, prompted by the OFCCP’s\u00a0expanded jurisdiction over hospitals, Patrick was asked six questions that hospitals need answered:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. “I work for a hospital that just received a CSAL letter from the OFCCP, what things should I be concentrating on most, in preparation for an upcoming audit?”<\/li>\n
  2. “In my hospital, we have multiple steps or parts in our hiring process. Which parts are reviewed by the OFCCP and are there any ‘hot buttons’ that I should be concentrating on?”<\/li>\n
  3. “Is it okay for our hospital to use ‘home-grown’ clinical assessments as part of the hiring process to determine if applicants possess the competencies that we\u2019re looking for?”<\/li>\n
  4. “Should I determine if our hospital falls under OFCCP jurisdiction when we have contracts with multiple HMO\u2019s to provide medical services?”<\/li>\n
  5. “It takes a lot of administrative personnel and time to meet all of the OFCCP requirements; is it really worth all the financial investment we put in to prepare ourselves?”<\/li>\n
  6. “There are many parts included in the UGESP. What pieces should I specifically be referring, to make sure all the tests we use in the hiring process meet these requirements?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
