So far in 2016 there have been 10 resolution agreements announced. One more and this year will equal the number of agreements in all of 2015 & 2014!
The latest two also include the largest one announced yet - $5.5m with Advocate Health.
Before that though was The University of Mississippi Medical Center - Ole Missto those of us in the SEC world. It wasn't something to "shake a stick at" with a$2.75m resolution amount.
The total amount for those 10 announcements so far in 2016 = $20,314,800
Of course the details are what we usually pay more attention to since it tells us exactly what OCR has a problem with in each case. It makes it clear what OCR wants all of us to learn from these folks mistakes.
