--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, public): To move forward with our proposal for the accelerated hybrid workforce certificate in Medical Billing & Coding, we need to clarify a few key areas: first, what documentation we require for academic approval, and any potential compliance concerns we should address. Second, I'd like to discuss the external timeline constraints we need to keep in mind. Lastly, I want to ensure our cost structure is sustainable. Let's start with the compliance aspect—what do we need to focus on here?
[R0.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, public): To ensure compliance, we need to focus on a few key areas. First, for academic approval, we must verify the program structure aligns with our credit-hour policy, which is 1 credit equaling 15 contact hours. Additionally, we will need to submit for state program approval at least 90 days before the start, and there is a fee of $2,450. We should also be aware of the accreditation trigger; if the program exceeds 24 credits, we must provide notice. As for the external timeline, we can expect a typical accreditor review response time of about 30 days. Regarding cost structure, we should ensure that it aligns with our operational budget and staffing capabilities. Let's discuss any specific compliance concerns you might foresee related to these requirements.
[R0.3] Finance & Contracts Manager (speak, public): In terms of compliance, I think it’s crucial for us to assess how the completion-based commitments could affect our refund exposure, especially with the potential clawback clause if completion rates fall below the required percentage. Additionally, we should ensure that we have a clear understanding of how to report employer outcomes to stay compliant with funding requirements. Can we also discuss how we will handle the financial implications of the $2,450 state program approval fee?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, public): Thank you for the insights on compliance and the financial implications. I agree that we need to outline how we will manage the completion-based commitments and ensure that our budget can accommodate the state program approval fee. Let's ensure we have a plan for both the compliance documentation and the financial structure. Can we also outline any specific steps we need to take regarding employer outcomes reporting to maintain compliance?
[R1.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, public): To maintain compliance regarding employer outcomes reporting, we need to clearly define the metrics we will use to measure success and communicate these to our employer partners. This will not only help us stay in line with funding requirements but also strengthen our partnerships. I recommend we draft a reporting framework that outlines the expected outcomes and timelines for reporting. Additionally, we should consider how we can streamline this process to avoid any delays that might affect our compliance status. Let's discuss the specifics of this framework and any other compliance measures we might need to implement.
[R1.3] Finance & Contracts Manager (speak, public): I appreciate the comprehensive approach to compliance and employer outcomes reporting. To mitigate potential financial risks, I suggest we also include a budget forecast that accounts for the $2,450 state program approval fee and any possible variations in completion rates that may affect our funding. It’s essential we have these safeguards in place before finalizing our proposal. Shall we draft a detailed budget outline that includes these considerations?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, public): I completely agree with your suggestions regarding the reporting framework and the budget outline. Let's prioritize drafting this detailed budget that includes the $2,450 state program approval fee and any potential variations in completion rates. This will help us ensure financial viability and compliance as we move forward. Can we set a timeline for when we can have these drafts ready for review?
[R2.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, public): I agree that we should set a clear timeline for drafting the budget and reporting framework. How about we aim to have the initial drafts ready for review in two weeks? This will give us enough time to incorporate all necessary elements and ensure compliance with our requirements. Let's also schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss any revisions or additional inputs needed from our respective areas.
[R2.3] Finance & Contracts Manager (speak, public): I agree with the proposed timeline of two weeks for the drafts. This allows us to ensure we incorporate all necessary elements for compliance and financial viability. I suggest that we also meet again shortly after the drafts are prepared to review them together and finalize our recommendations. Shall we set a preliminary date for that follow-up meeting?

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Academic Program Director (Workforce Certificates) (speak, public): I agree with the timeline of two weeks for the drafts, and I think setting a follow-up meeting shortly after will be beneficial. Let's aim for our follow-up meeting one week after the drafts are ready, so we can review and make any necessary adjustments. Does that work for both of you?
[R3.2] Registrar & Accreditation Compliance Manager (speak, public): That timeline works perfectly for me. I will ensure to have all compliance elements incorporated in the drafts. Let’s reconvene one week after the drafts are ready to finalize our recommendations and address any adjustments needed. Looking forward to collaborating on this!
