You lead a multi-disciplinary team that deals with compliance issues for GoodHealth, Inc., a large healthcare provider that owns four hospitals. Your team did some investigating, including internal audits and confidential interviews, and they found the following:

(1) One of the facilities rents imagining equipment from staff radiologists and that equipment is located in the radiologists' private, off-campus office;

(2) medical staff have been offered bonuses for increasing admissions and referrals;

(3) there are medical coding errors going five years back that represent millions of dollars of overcharges;

(4) medical errors are not being consistently reported; and,

(5) physician peer review for medical errors is not taking place in a consistent or timely manner.

Your team has concluded that it is in the best interest of GoodHealth, Inc. to self-report to the OIG. The team must do a presentation for the CEO. The CEO will submit the paper to the Board of Directors. Be creative. How should this be approached?
