Our Supply Chain Consulting services help Wilems Resource Group improve their supply chain processes and optimize their The Wilems Resource Group web-based platform allows your ACO to effortlessly implement two of the five Compliance Program Requirements: a method for anonymous reporting and annual compliance training.  

• Compliance Training Modules – ACO-related individuals are able to access the self-guided training (i.e. Compliance; Fraud, Waste and Abuse; Privacy; DUA Custodian; Consumer Advocate). Upon completion of a training, the individual submits a brief attestation to confirm their understanding of the material. Completion reports are generated and shared monthly with leadership.
  
• Anonymous Reporting Tool – Individuals can report any compliance concerns regarding the ACO or organizational activities. The tool allows individuals to report anonymously or to provide contact information. Reports are then transmitted to the appropriate leaders within the organization.. We work with you to identify areas of improvement, streamline processes, and help you run your business more efficiently.
