Tackling healthcare fraud: the uncontrollable beast or the example of good practice?

Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill

Healthcare fraud is a massive problem, the scale of which is only best guessed at, the FBI estimates ‘tens of billions of dollars’, are lost annually in the US, in England alone the government estimates well over a £1 billion was lost last year. The word ‘fraud’ in fact disguises a wide range of criminal acts that vary greatly involving staff (sometimes working with third parties) including GPs and other professionals, contractors, patients and others. The losers are the public. Meanwhile, state sector resources around the world are limited while there is a burgeoning private sector that is often marginalised. So what can we do? What are the key challenges and how are they being approached? What is the role of the private sector and is it being appropriately engaged for the public good?
This webinar will discuss:
The threat posed by the different dimensions of healthcare fraud
The vulnerabilities and how they are being responded to
The opportunities in the private sector and how to maximise them for public benefit
