How to Build: AuditShield 360
Quick Overview
The Opportunity
An audit preparation and simulation platform specifically for healthcare facilities. Runs continuous mock audits against CMS, Joint Commission, and state requirements, identifying gaps before real auditors arrive. Features AI-powered document analysis that flags potential compliance issues, automated evidence collection from multiple systems, and a 'panic button' mode that generates all required documentation for surprise audits within minutes. Includes a library of successful audit responses and corrective action plan templates.
Why This Idea Works Now
Healthcare facilities face 3-5 audits annually. Failed audits can result in immediate closure, loss of licensing, or six-figure penalties. Audit prep typically consumes 200+ staff hours.
