In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Brad Schoffstall, Vice President of Health and Compliance Programs at CGI, and Dr. James Peake, Senior Vice President and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Army Surgeon General. They have a wide-ranging and practical conversation about what it actually takes to modernize data infrastructure at federal health agencies. With Brad's 35 years at CGI and Dr. Peake's 16 years, this is a conversation grounded in hard-won experience rather than theory. Today's conversation is a refreshingly honest and deeply practical perspective for anyone working at the intersection of government, healthcare, and AI.  In this episode, they talk about: Federal health agencies are running some of the largest healthcare operations in the world, with the VA equivalent in size to a Fortune 5 company Data silos created by contract-by-contract procurement are the primary barrier to AI-ready infrastructure at federal agencies Federated data platforms allow data to stay in its own repositories while being discoverable, mappable, and usable across the organization Policy is often the biggest obstacle to data sharing, and changing it requires executive-level support and shared governance Technology is the third most important factor in transformation; policy and business understanding come first and second CGI improved NHS Spine performance tenfold while reducing infrastructure to a tenth of its original size, saving a million euros in annual expenses Improper payments across federal health programs run into billions of dollars annually and represent one of the highest-impact areas for AI-driven improvement AI for AI's sake is not the answer; start with the business problem and work backward to the data strategy Start small with two or three systems, demonstrate value, and build from there rather than attempting a massive all-at-once implementation A Little About Brad and James: Brad Schoffstall has wide-ranging experience, deep knowledge, and skills in information technology. He has led multiple digital transformation efforts. He has 37 years of experience with a diverse set of architectures, operating systems, languages, and technologies.

By Doug Green “Many companies don't even realize they're out of compliance until someone takes a close look at how customer interactions are actually being handled,” said Todd Chisholm, president of IFT Solutions. In a recent Technology Reseller News podcast, I spoke with Todd Chisholm, president of IFT Solutions, about the company's new IFT Fortitude program and why MSPs have an opportunity to bring compliance-focused customer service assessments to business clients in regulated industries. IFT Solutions operates as a business process outsourcing company, providing services that range from customer service and collections to front-end sales support. The company also brings a consulting practice to the table, helping organizations assess whether their customer-facing operations, whether handled internally or outsourced, are meeting compliance expectations in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. That consulting expertise is now being packaged into IFT Fortitude, a program designed to let MSPs offer a white-labeled compliance assessment to their end-user customers. The goal is to help businesses determine whether their in-house or outsourced customer service teams are adhering to data privacy and other regulatory requirements. The timing makes sense. MSPs are increasingly serving customers in verticals where compliance is not optional, yet many of those customers may not realize how exposed they are. A company might have solid intentions and good people in place, but still fall short because processes have evolved unevenly, vendors have changed, or customer interactions are not being reviewed through a compliance lens. In many cases, risk builds quietly in day-to-day operations until an audit, complaint, or incident reveals the gap. Chisholm explained that this is where the MSP can provide more than technology support. By working with IFT, partners can bring a practical assessment service into customer accounts and help identify weaknesses before they become business problems. That creates a new advisory conversation for the MSP while addressing a real operational need for the customer. The Fortitude program is especially relevant in markets where customer communications are tightly tied to privacy, documentation, and process controls. Financial services is an obvious fit, but the broader opportunity extends to any organization handling sensitive customer information or operating in a regulated environment. Healthcare, insurance, and other service-intensive verticals are also likely candidates. For partners, the program offers a way to add value without having to build a compliance practice from scratch. IFT provides the assessment framework and expertise, while the MSP can position the service under its own brand and bring it to existing customers as part of a broader trusted advisor relationship. The larger message from the conversation is that compliance is becoming a business operations issue as much as a legal or technical one. Customer service processes, scripts, escalation paths, and outsourced workflows all matter. MSPs that help customers see that more clearly may find a strong opening for new services and deeper client engagement. For channel partners looking to expand beyond traditional IT support, IFT Fortitude points to a useful direction: practical, white-labeled services that help customers reduce risk while strengthening the MSP's role in the account.

By Adam Turteltaub Andrew McBride, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Integrity Bridge, recently wrote an article entitled Generative Artificial Intelligence Use Cases for Ethics & Compliance Programs.  Intrigued by the topic, I sat down with him for this podcast. He shared that many compliance teams are charged with using AI but may not have the  desire or know how to create and implement a use case. He shares that AI is very good at doing a specific role and a specific activity.  Consequently, compliance teams should consider not just the use of AI as a whole but specific needs that they have for it.  He gives five specific use cases: Interpreter. AI can translate documents and training in seconds.  It can also help you distill long documents into pithy, usable summaries both for you and management. Drafter.  It can draft from scratch or improve what you have already put together, even creating interactive scenarios that can be useful in training. Researcher.  You do have to be mindful of hallucinations, but if you set up the AI to only use your own data or a trusted set of ources, it is more reliable.  Do, though, always check its work. Data Analyst. As compliance teams are called to amass and analyze more data, AI can help you do it, identifying, for example, relationships between training and calls to the helpline. Monitor, Investigator, Auditor. AI can review both structured and unstructured data, helping you identify red flags. Listen in to learn more, and then, start building your own use case for generative AI.

By Adam Turteltaub In November 2024, the Office of Inspector General at Health and Human Services  released its Nursing Facility: Industry Segment-Specific Compliance Program Guidance. The document is part of an effort to modernize how HHS OIG is communicating to industry and providing information about risks, how to mitigate them and best practices for compliance programs. Jillian Willis (LinkedIn/Firm Page) and Melissa Scott (LinkedIn/Firm Page) of Nelson Mullins explain that the new guidance contains four main sections: quality of care and quality of life, Medicare and Medicaid billing requirements, Federal anti-kickback statute and other risk areas such as physician self-referral, HIPAA and related-party transactions. It shares best practices. Notably, the guidance, complements other guidance out there, including the Department of Justice's. And, in addition to focusing compliance efforts, it can be helpful for promoting operational efficiency.

By Adam Turteltaub So you've got a case of AI fever and want to put the technology to work for your compliance team. What should you do? Jordan Domash, Founder of Rersponsiv, urges you to first take a deep breath and think through the process starting with defining your goals. Interestingly, he shares, the goals can be affected by the solution you choose, whether you go with a solution that is homegrown or out of the box. Either way, once the goal is set, expect an iterative process and regular testing to ensure that the solution is delivering what you were looking for, free from hallucinations and other problems. To make that process work it's essential to have an evaluation plan in place, which includes identifying all the potential failure points. Make a part of it conducting some manual tests to see if the AI is delivering the results it should. In sum, AI can be invaluable to your program, but only if you put in the work to ensure that it is well designed and truly performing as it should.

What if one missing note in your chart could cost you your license—or even your freedom? That's not a scare tactic—it's exactly what happened to today's guest, Dr. Roy Shelburne. A respected dentist turned federal inmate, Roy learned the hard way that poor documentation and billing practices can destroy even the most well-intentioned practice. Now, he's using his story to help others protect what they've built—and to ensure no one else has to go through what he did. If you're running a dental practice and think documentation is just a formality, think again. This episode is a must-listen. I'm joined by Dr. Roy Shelburne—a dentist, speaker, and compliance expert with a story that'll stop you in your tracks. After being sentenced to federal prison for documentation-related issues, Roy has made it his mission to help other dentists avoid the same fate. In this conversation, Roy opens up about what happened, what he wishes he had known, and the simple (but often overlooked) systems that can protect your practice, your license, and your peace of mind. We also talk about why clear documentation isn't just about legal protection—it's the key to smoother insurance reimbursements, fewer patient disputes, and stronger clinical care. Here are some of the interesting things we talked about in this episode: If it's not in your chart, it didn't happen—legally or clinically. Why blind disregard can be interpreted as intent to defraud. The real reason so many dentists struggle with insurance claims. How to build a 7-step compliance program that protects your entire team. Why moving to ICD-10 may be on the horizon (and how to get ahead of it). How better records actually lead to better patient care.

In this episode of 1st Talk Compliance, Kevin Chmura is joined by Rachel Rose, JD, MBA, as they discuss the False Claims Act in detail. The FCA, one of five federal laws built to combat fraud, waste, and abuse, is the government's primary fraud fighting tool, with the healthcare industry paying the largest contributor in recoveries for over a decade. Learn not only about how to avoid running afoul of this law, but also some details of cases in which it was violated, and the repercussions those who did so faced. In addition, find out how a proper compliance program can protect your practice in various ways, including staying up to date on cybersecurity training. Kevin Chmura Rachel, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for joining us.   Rachel V. Rose Thank you, Kevin, for having me back for another round of a very major healthcare compliance topic.   Kevin Chmura It very much is, yeah. This one generates some revenue for the government. So this is one that I think especially in today's environment, people should be paying a lot of attention to. So as I said in the intro, we're here to talk about the False Claims Act. It's one of the most important fraud, waste and abuse laws that applies to physicians and health care practitioners of all kinds. The healthcare industry has consistently been one of the, if not the highest contributor to funds received under the False Claims Act. And it's essential to be familiar with the law and maintain compliance programs to mitigate that risk. Rachel, I know you spend a fair amount of time in your practice in and around the False Claims Act defending and representing customers and providers. So you're perfect to cover this topic for us. Wondering, though, if you could give us a brief synopsis of the False Claims Act and why is it unique?   Rachel V. Rose Absolutely. So as you mentioned, my practice focuses a lot on the False Claims Act, and I am fortunate to do a lot of compliance work not only around the False Claims Act, but HHS. OIG has identified five important federal fraud, waste and abuse laws. The False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the Exclusion Authorities, and the Civil Monetary Penalties. And Kevin, as you mentioned, the False Claims Act is really the federal government's primary fraud fighting tool. And in 2024, there were more than $2.9 billion in recoveries and, moreso healthcare represented over two thirds of that amount. That healthcare trend, as you mentioned, being the largest contributor, has gone on for at least the last decade. And what the False Claims Act does that makes it unique are really, I would say, five main things. But first, the False Claims Act goes back to 1863, and it is also known as the Lincoln Law. Its primary purpose, even back during the Civil War, was to root out fraud that was being perpetrated on the government. So how would that be done? Congress thought about it and said, well, the government could do it on its own if they caught wind of something, or they could insert a provision which gave an individual known as a relator, also known as a whistleblower, the potential to bring fraud to the government's attention and receive a portion of the recovery. It's very important to note that a relator and I represented several relators successfully, sometimes with co-counsel, sometimes with not, so I get to see the False Claims Act from the whistleblower standpoint as well. But this notion of being able to represent a whistleblower is the first distinguishing factor. And that's because most other civil cases, a person can represent themselves on a pro say basis, meaning they don't need a lawyer. There was a provision in the False Claims Act which in fact requires an individual to be represented by a lawyer. So unless the relator is a lawyer, then the individual needs to obtain counsel in order to file a False Claims Act case. That's the first thing. Secondly,

Andrew Mahler, Vice President of Privacy and Compliance Services, Clearwater, speaks with Kathleen Healy, Partner, Robinson Cole, and Robert Martin, Senior Legal Counsel, Mass General Brigham, about how health care compliance teams can build effective governance models, monitor legal risks, and prepare for enforcement activity related to artificial intelligence (AI).

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs laid off about 90% of its staff last week, leaving only about 50 employees nationwide. OFCCP was created in 1965 to protect American workers from race and gender discrimination by federal contractors. Employees who got RIF notices will separate from the agency on June 6.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you running a compliance program that's making a real impact—or just checking the boxes? In this episode, Michael Volkov dives into LRN's 2025 Program Effectiveness Report, an annual benchmark that separates the truly impactful compliance programs from those that are merely operational. Based on insights from 1,500 global ethics and compliance professionals, this year's report draws a clear line between high-impact and medium-impact programs—and what it takes to bridge the gap. The conversation highlights urgent risks, cultural disconnects, and the strategic value of automation, data, and leadership alignment in shaping tomorrow's compliance functions.You'll hear him discuss:How high-impact programs are defined by their strategic use of automation, data analytics, and benchmarking tools to drive measurable compliance outcomesWhy third-party risk management—including due diligence and supply chain oversight—is a defining trait of the most effective programs todayThe growing trust gap between Gen Z employees and middle managers, and why this generational shift poses a cultural red flagThe continued dominance of outdated internal systems, regulatory complexity, and budget pressure as top operational challenges facing compliance leadersHow high-impact programs are integrating AI into both their codes of conduct and employee training, preparing teams for emerging tech risksWhat medium-impact programs can do to evolve: focus on training, automation, and peer collaboration to elevate impact and resilienceResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

By Adam Turteltaub How much is your cybersecurity program worth? Traditionally the thinking has kind of been: if we don't have a breach it's expensive but valuable, and if we do have one it's both expensive and worthless. Eric Shoemaker of Genius GRC advocates for a different way to value cybersecurity efforts. Instead of just looking at what it prevents, also look at what it enables: your organization to do business with less friction. A good cybersecurity  program give customers the confidence that you are safe to do business with. It prevents business interruptions, and doesn't get too much in the way of the business. So track things like deals successfully closed after reviewing the company's cyber defenses. He also argues for using near misses as a way to demonstrate value. Each incident provides an opportunity to examine what could have gone wrong, what controls worked, and what enhancements could be made to strengthen them. Listen in to learn more about how you can establish the value of your cyber protection efforts.

By Adam Turteltaub Auditing and monitoring of the compliance program is pretty standard these days.  Entain's Karen Nightingale, Group Director of Ethics & Compliance and Jonathan Fox, Group Head of Ethics & Compliance Programmes, make the case in this podcast for going to the next level and actively testing your program. The two will also be addressing the topic at the 2025 SCCE European Compliance & Ethics Institute, which will take place in Lisbon, 10-12 March. Doing so, they suggest, can turn a reactive compliance program into a proactive one by actively searching for points of weakness, identifying red flags in advance and addressing them early. In practice, testing is more like an audit. It should be done periodically and provide an in-depth look at whether processes and controls are working as intended. By going deeper, it can uncover where there may be a weakness in what may appear to be a strong process as a whole. To determine what controls to test, there are several factors. First is recognizing that your organization likely has limited resources: don't plan a test that you don't have the resources to carry out. Second, identify the taxonomy of risks and which fall within the compliance team's remit. Next, prioritize the risks: identify the highest risks and start there. As you do this work, ask for help from other parts of the organization. HR, legal, internal audit and others may all be great help.

By Adam Turteltaub What if you had a compliance program and nobody noticed? It's not likely. But what if you had a compliance program, and nobody understood what it did? That, sadly, is more than a bit of an ongoing problem. To take on that challenge we spoke with Carolina Santos de Silva, Head of Ethics & Compliance EMEA for Bridgestone EMEA and Pauline Blondet, Co-Owner and Chief Operating Officer of Upright Solutions. The two recently published the article “How to Sell Ethics and Compliance to your Organization” in the October issue of Ethikos. They persuasively argue in this podcast for compliance teams to think about their product, brand and having a robust message. Start with your product. Is it ethics, ethics and compliance, integrity? Think through which best defines what you are offering. Your brand is the image the compliance team communicates within the organization and what differentiates you from other departments. It needs to reflect the department's message. From the brand will come a pitch, or your department's elevator speech. It should introduce yourself, present your why or purpose, explain what it is that the organization is facing as a challenge and introduce the solution you are providing, and include a call to action. Some other pieces of advice they offer are: Define who your target audiences are, including an assessment of where they are when it comes to compliance, what you expect from them and what the gaps are. To gain leadership support, help them understand the broader compliance context in which the organization operates. Don't assume leadership understands its role within a compliance program. Show them and then thank them when they help. Seek out as many touchpoints with the workforce as possible. Remember that who sends the message can be just as important as the message itself.

Rob Black is the Founder of Fractional CISO and has guided numerous companies in enhancing their security postures. With extensive experience in product and corporate security roles at prominent companies like PTC, Axeda, and RSA Security, Rob is recognized as a trusted authority in risk management and cybersecurity innovation. In this episode… As companies face increasing pressure to meet security and compliance demands, many are turning to AI to enhance their governance, risk, and compliance programs. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude can streamline processes such as summarizing reports and generating responses to security questionnaires. While these tools can improve efficiency, they can also produce inaccuracies, underscoring the importance of human oversight. How can companies use AI responsibly to enhance these programs? AI tools can save security teams a ton of time, but they're not reliable enough to replace human oversight. This means that companies need to establish clear guidelines and governance frameworks on AI usage to protect sensitive information and mitigate risks. By integrating these strategies, companies can build more resilient and compliant programs.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Rob Black, the Founder of Fractional CISO, about integrating AI into governance, risk, and compliance programs. Rob explores the benefits and risks of utilizing AI in these programs, emphasizing the need to blend AI with human oversight. He also emphasizes the need for companies to have a security-first mindset when implementing AI tools to reduce risk and ensure long-term success.

Max talks with Mark Kolber, an aviation lawyer and CFI, about the FAA's compliance program. Mark explains that the program, launched in 2015, shifted from a punitive approach to a more rehabilitative one, encouraging pilots to report mistakes and undergo retraining rather than facing severe penalties. He highlights the benefits of being proactive and transparent with the FAA to resolve issues through remedial training. Mark discusses the importance of filing a NASA form for protections if a case goes to formal enforcement and advises seeking professional guidance when contacted by the FAA. He clarifies that while the compliance program handles minor infractions, serious violations like fraud or repeated offenses still lead to formal enforcement actions. The conversation includes practical advice for pilots who receive a Brasher warning, suggesting they contact the tower with brief, factual information without making admissions. Mark emphasizes that modern technology like ADS-B makes evading detection impossible, advocating for cooperation and transparency as the best approaches.

By Adam Turteltaub What makes for an effective compliance program, not just from a legal perspective but from a practical one? Getting that answer, and sharing it is the focus of the LRN 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report To learn what it contains we sat down with Meredith Hunt (LinkedIn), Ethics and Compliance Specialist at LRN. In this podcast she shared that more effective programs are focused on values rather than rules, and underscore the importance of ethical culture. They are also taking a risk-based approach. Their research also revealed the importance of adapting to the current business environment. With employees working remotely has come a change in how they gather information. The code of conduct, policies and procedures have to be accessible wherever workers are. Within the compliance program's internal operations, effective programs, they report, are focusing more on data and metrics, looking for the data that show where the program is and isn't working, and enabling continuous improvement. Listen in to learn more about how to create a more effective compliance program in your organization.

By Adam Turteltaub In late 2023, The Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Department of Health and Human Services issued its new General Compliance Program Guidance. In this podcast, David Schumacher, Partner and Co-Chair of the Fraud & Abuse Practice at Hooper Lundy & Bookman explains that this document is both evolutionary and revolutionary. For years the OIG's office had been offering guidance through the Federal Register. To make that information more accessible it moved it online, consolidated the information, added interactive features and created a much richer resource which makes it both easier for compliance teams to understand the OIG's expectations and more difficult for some to claim that they were unaware of the rules. The changes, though, are more than just the media used to communicate OIG expectations. The document demonstrates both the ongoing expectations by OIG for robust compliance programs and communicates changes in focus. For one, it reveals an enhanced emphasis on quality issues in healthcare and patient safety. It also reflects the OIG's efforts to ensure effective compliance program in new entrants into healthcare, such as private equity and technology firms. Both may well discover that practices that are permissible elsewhere are not in healthcare. The guidance also encourages incentivizing compliance. Another gem in the guidance is the clear message to carefully scrutinize arrangements with third parties. Due diligence at the outset is important, but it is also necessary on an ongoing basis to determine if the relationship is necessary and the price tag is fair market value. Listen in to learn more, and be sure to check out the General Compliance Program Guidance.
