Compliant AF Podcast
Welcome to the Compliant AF Podcast - where healthcare compliance isn’t just a checklist, it’s a competitive advantage. Hosted by Kara D. Kelley, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CEO of Clinical HR LLC, and Amy Wood, CEO of Copper Penny Consulting, this show is for dental practice leaders, healthcare executives, and the teams who make them successful. Each episode tackles high-stakes topics like HIPAA, HR, OSHA, insurance, fraud, cybersecurity, DEA, Medicare/Medicaid, IRS, ADA/web compliance, and more - with sharp strategy, real-world stories, and our signature humor. We believe the easiest, most cost-effective way to avoid lawsuits, audits, and regulatory disasters is to stop settling for “check-the-box compliance.” If you want to build a culture where doing the right thing isn’t just policy - it’s practice - you’re in the right place. Weirdly passionate. Unapologetically snarky. Compliant AF. New episodes regularly posted!
