In this premiere episode of the Compliant AF Podcast, hosts Amy Wood and Kara Kelley finally hit record on the conversations they’ve been having for years - about healthcare compliance, the dumpster fires they’ve helped put out, and why "check-the-box" compliance just isn’t cutting it anymore.

Get to know your hosts as they share the origin stories behind their weirdly specific careers in HIPAA/cybersecurity and HR - Amy, as the CEO of Copper Penny Consulting LLC, and Kara Kelley, as the CEO of Clinical HR LLC - and why they're on a mission to help dental and healthcare practice leaders lead with compliance, not fear.

They discuss:

• Why most practices don’t take compliance seriously - until it’s too late

• The difference between being compliant on paper vs. in practice

• The actual costs of being reactive vs. proactive

• What to expect from future episodes (spoiler: a lot of experts, acronyms, and snark)

• And how to build a culture that is truly Compliant AF

Whether you're a practice owner, manager, or part of a healthcare team, this episode lays the foundation for what’s coming - and why this podcast doesn’t sound like your average compliance training.
