MINNEAPOLIS, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) today released a complimentary seven minute video – entitled Compliance Oversight for Health Care Leaders – has been produced as a result of a partnership between HCCA, the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General, and University Hospitals Health System located in Cleveland, Ohio.

"This video is designed to help health care compliance professionals educate their senior leaders and board members about the importance of creating and sustaining an effective compliance program," said Roy Snell, HCCA Chief Executive Officer.

Government and health care industry leaders who appear in this video and whose thoughtful guidance and collaboration made this project successful include:

• Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

• James Sheehan, Medicaid Inspector General, New York State

• Jenny O'Brien, Chief Medicare Compliance Officer, UnitedHealth Group and Immediate Past President, HCCA

"I would also like to thank University Hospitals for creating the vision for this project and donating its resources to produce the video," added Snell. "Throughout the project, our goal was to produce a high-quality product that could be used in board rooms nationwide to 'get the word out' that compliance programs are critically important in this time of industry transformation," said Snell.

Snell suggests that health care compliance professionals use this video as part of their next compliance training or presentation.
