Change and Risk Management Success Stories
Challenge
Client faced non-compliance with labor laws related to compensating employees for meal breaks and rest periods. This issue not only posed potential legal risks but also affected employee satisfaction and payroll accuracy.
Solution
JASC Associates conducted a comprehensive audit of existing labor practices, identifying gaps in compliance with state and federal regulations. We implemented an updated timekeeping system that accurately tracked meal and rest breaks and ensured that compensation aligned with labor law requirements. Additionally, we provided training for managers and staff on proper time reporting and compliance standards.
Benefit
As a result of these improvements, client now has capability to be in full compliance with labor laws, significantly reducing legal risk and enhancing employee morale. The updated systems also provided greater transparency and accuracy in payroll processing.
Challenge
A start up, telehealth company, needed to establish comprehensive regulatory compliance from the ground up. This included adhering to both federal and state regulations for offered telehealth services, as well as compliance for the sale and distribution of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and home test kits across all 50 states. The complexity of differing state requirements posed a significant challenge.
Solution
JASC Associates undertook a detailed research initiative, thoroughly analyzing the regulatory requirements for telehealth and DME compliance across all 50 states. We collaborated closely with client's legal counsel to ensure all compliance measures met both federal and state legal standards. We developed client's policies and procedures to build out their compliance framework that integrated regulations across jurisdictions, maintaining consistency and legal adherence. Additionally, our team provided contract negotiation and vendor management support to secure favorable agreements while maintaining compliance.
Benefit
The successful implementation of this standardized compliance strategy enabled the client to confidently expand telehealth services nationwide. By establishing a robust, legally sound framework from the ground up, and working closely with legal counsel, the client minimized compliance risks and ensured smooth operations for providing telehealth solutions across the country.
Challenge
Patients were at high risk due to counterfeit drugs entering the market and there was no reliable way to track these drugs from raw materials through manufacturing to patient use. The supply chain challenge was significant. In order to comply with the e-pedigree and serialization federal and worldwide health requirements, pharmaceutical companies needed to implement substantial tracking and labeling solutions, which involved complex, industry-wide adjustments.
Solution
A comprehensive digital tracking and serialization system was developed. This system utilized advanced technologies (e.g. RFID tags, barcodes, and blockchain) to enable full traceability of pharmaceutical products. Each drug was given a unique identifier, ensuring that every point in the supply chain— from raw materials to manufacturing to distribution to the pharmacy to the end patient— was documented and traceable. This allowed for a secure, real-time flow of information, enabling verification of authenticity and preventing counterfeit drugs from entering the market.
Benefit
The implementation of e-pedigree and serialization solutions resulted in a significant reduction in counterfeit drugs reaching patients. It ensured that only genuine, FDA-approved drugs were distributed to pharmacies, safeguarding public health. With a clear audit trail, regulatory compliance was achieved more efficiently, fostering greater trust within the industry. Ultimately, patient safety was improved, and the pharmaceutical supply chain became more transparent and secure, making it harder for counterfeit drugs to infiltrate the system.
