Marina Del Rey, CA, (PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- In the wake of a deadly fire to cover up a bungled accreditation project at a Houston cosmetic and laser surgery center recently, Troy Lair, The Compliance Doctor, today announces the launch of The Preventive Maintenance and Accreditation Services (PMAS) Compliance Program, a customized accreditation and survey readiness service that includes experts dispatched to clients' sites. Lair urges the nations' healthcare organizations to rethink their accreditation and survey readiness process and says that the stress of meeting compliance and accreditation deadlines signals the imminent need for outsourcing accreditation and compliance needs.

The accreditation process at a Houston cosmetic and laser surgery office turned deadly March 28 when a stressed 33-year-old licensed vocational nurse set a small fire to her office after-hours to destroy accreditation paperwork to buy her more time, killing three and injuring six.

Says Lair, "This incident takes the stress of accreditation deadlines to a heightened level of concern. It marks perhaps the first time ever that lives have been lost in the quest to deter the re-accreditation process. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the many friends, family, and coworkers affected by this tragic loss."

The Compliance Doctor, LLC is the stress-reducing answer to the time-honored and usually stressful process of meeting the various hospital and outpatient surgery center accreditation and compliance requirements nationwide. They provide comprehensive compliance and accreditation support to LTC Facilities, Sub-Acute Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Office Based Surgery Suites, Diagnostic Testing Facilities, Sleep Centers and Labs, Physical Therapy Rehab Centers, and Acute Care Facilities.

When asked why she set fire to her office, the woman told her boss that the surveyor was due to visit the next day and she had procrastinated in preparing paperwork needed for an accreditation survey, despite the fact that she told her boss that the paperwork was completed. She confessed to arson authorities that she went to such lengths to keep her fabricated accreditation tale from caving in.

Although an extreme case, the stress that underlines and propels the accreditation process can often send employees into early retirement, resignation, or find some way to circumvent accreditation documentation duties.

Adds Lair, "When the process is so cumbersome and time-consuming, and often given to an employee or team that has clinical duties they must also balance, it just makes sense to outsource this essential function to an organization that specializes in getting the job done -- on time, and at a very affordable price."
