Compliance Today - June 2017

Co mpl i a nce To d a y J u n e2 017

Are you still sorting through all the great information from the Compliance Institute, or perhaps
overwhelmed that you may forget all the
mentions of compliance refer-
ences and resources? It’s not too
late to curate information from
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,
and web postings. In fact, even
if you missed the Compliance
Institute at National Harbor, you
have an opportunity to curate
the best of what happened. There
is a Twitter tradition at the Compliance
Institute (the official hashtag is #HCCAci),
and each year the number of attendees
tweeting increases, perhaps encouraged
by seeing their tweets scroll on the live
screens located throughout the event.

Attendees could tweet from their smart-phones, tablets, or laptops, or tweet from within the HCCA Compliance Institute app. Monday morning was a flurry of tweets as all gathered for the keynotes and the excitement of seeing compliance colleagues. The great opportunity with tweets is that they often represent great quotes and memorable phrases.

The HCCA staff were also busy film-
ing keynotes and live interviews with
attendees. Many eagerly awaited the
keynote from Inspector General Dan
Levinson. Videos were eventually posted
to the You Tube Channels for HCCA and
the Office of Inspector General.

So how do you begin curating your experience from the Compliance Institute? The Storify platform will allow Compliance Institute attendees and “virtual” attendees to curate a story (or, in fact, several stories) from their live or virtual experience. Head over to http://storify.com and get started with a free account, and if you use the Chrome browser, there is an extension available. While browsing the web, click on the Storify logo (top right-hand corner), and you will be prompted to add the element to your Storify. Open up your Twitter feed in Chrome. Did you find a tweet you want to curate and add to your story? You will see the Storify icon to the right of the heart “like” icon; click on it, and you have curated that tweet.

When you are ready to pull together your “story” head on over to your Storify account, click on draft, and all the stories you have been collecting will be found under “saved elements.” From there, add other elements from Twitter, Facebook, and You Tube. To get started with your first story search for #HCCAci, get some tweets and head on over to HCCA’s You Tube Channel to get the Compliance Institute videos.

As they say, “Data never sleeps,” and what happens online stays online (forever). You might as well make a story — your compliance story. What are you curating?
