Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we have exciting updates for cross-jursidictional and multi-jurisdictional practice. We discuss: The Counseling Compact, and the states in which it is live The ETA for the Social Work Licensure Compact going live Access MFT's licensure portability effort Portability-friendly laws and how they differ from rights for temporary practice PSYPACT updates Physical location restrictions and requirements for providers under compacts Details of our upcoming CE training: Legal-Ethical Cross-Jurisdictional Telemental Health in 2026: Interstate, International, and Complex Practice Considerations Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website. PCT Resources: New on-demand CE training: Legal-Ethical Cross-Jurisdictional Telemental Health in 2026: Interstate, International, and Complex Practice Considerations Presented by Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC and Liath DaltonA 3-hour legal-ethical CE training for clinicians navigating the realities of modern telemental health practice, where clients travel, relocate, attend college out of state, split time between households, or receive care while physically located somewhere other than the clinician's primary licensing jurisdiction. This updated training moves beyond a basic "am I allowed to practice there?" analysis into advanced practical application. Participants examine practice-authority pathways, temporary practice allowances, PSYPACT, the Counseling Compact, the Social Work Licensure Compact, MFT portability developments, clinician-location versus client-location issues, international practice considerations, payer and malpractice concerns, emergency planning, confidentiality and mandatory reporting conflicts, minor consent and parent/guardian access issues, and documentation of due diligence. Participants also receive practical worksheets to support jurisdictional verification, international due diligence, and mapping applicable laws, risks, and practice implications — helping clinicians move from identifying a possible permission pathway to evaluating the conditions, conflicts, capacity, documentation, and risk-management steps needed to make a grounded practice decision. Recommended for any clinician providing teletherapy, as well as practice owners, supervisors, clinical directors, compliance leads, and other practice leadership responsible for supporting cross-jurisdictional care decisions. This training can also be assigned to team members through PCT's free team training management system (Group Practice Care basic.) As one participant shared: "Thank you for an absolutely excellent presentation! The presentation is a home run, and I will recommend it to my colleagues… I have a somewhat unique perspective on teletherapy and licensure mobility from working on these issues at the state, national, and international regulatory levels. The information that you provided is clear, direct, easy to follow, and accurate." PCT's free (!) Teletherapy Practice Rules by State Tool Whenever teletherapy sessions occur when the client -- or therapist -- are physically located outside the state of the clinician's licensure at the time of session, cross-jurisdictional practice is occurring. It is necessary to answer the question of whether it is permissible for you to work with that client in that state, regardless of whether the presence in another jurisdiction is temporary or not.In addition to the fundamental question of whether practice is permitted, and the particulars of how it is permitted, it is important to identify rules of practice, and training requirements, in order to be equipped with the information you need to follow for navigating legal-ethical cross-jurisdictional practice.This tool is a supportive resource to help you identify that information, link you to the authoritative source, and document your performance of due diligence when conducting cross-jurisdictional practice within the United States.

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we share concrete steps to take if you've discovered staff members using non-approved AI platforms in your practice. We discuss: The misconceptions around what constitutes PHI (and why information used to write a progress note absolutely is PHI) Why this is a reportable HIPAA breach Why reporting a HIPAA breach is nowhere near as scary or impactful as you may fear The difference between a large breach and a small breach, and reporting deadlines for each Client notification deadlines for breaches How state law can impact or add to reporting deadlines Steps to take after discovering non-compliant AI use in your practice What to investigate, how to document, how to mitigate, how to notify clients, and when to consult an attorney Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website. PCT Resources: PCT CE Course (on-demand): If you're navigating exactly what we're talking about in this episode, our on-demand CE training, HIPAA Security Incidents & Breaches: Investigation, Documentation, and Reporting, provides a clear, structured walkthrough of what to do when something goes wrong. It covers how to determine whether an incident is a breach, how to investigate and document appropriately, and how to handle client notification and reporting requirements—along with strategies to reduce risk going forward. This is a practical, real-world roadmap designed specifically for mental health practices, so you're not left guessing about next steps when a breach situation arises. Breach Report Questions: If you want to understand what breach reporting actually looks like in practice, this resource walks you through the exact information required when submitting a report to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). It outlines the specific details you'll need to gather — such as the type and scope of the breach, the number of individuals affected, what kind of PHI was involved, and what actions you've taken in response — so you can approach reporting with clarity and confidence rather than guesswork. Reviewing these questions ahead of time can also help guide your investigation and documentation process, ensuring you're collecting the right information from the start. Live (and recorded) PCT CE Course: Beyond Hype and Anxiety: A Practical Framework for Ethical AI Use in Clinical Practice is a 4-hour legal-ethical CE training co-presented by Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey and Liath Dalton, designed to help clinicians move beyond fear and guesswork into confident, responsible AI use. The course provides a structured, real-world framework for integrating AI into clinical workflows while upholding HIPAA requirements, ethical standards, and clinical standards of care. Participants will learn how to evaluate AI tools, understand what constitutes PHI (and the limits of de-identification), implement appropriate policies and safeguards, and maintain documentation quality and clinical integrity. With practical tools, decision-making frameworks, and implementation strategies, this training supports clinicians in making informed, defensible decisions about AI use in practice.

The Truth About HIPAA, AI, and Client Data In this article, Person Centered Tech breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in HIPAA compliance: de-identification. It clarifies the difference between simply "removing identifiers" and meeting HIPAA's strict legal standards for de-identification (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination). The piece explains why narrative clinical information is often inherently identifying, why a session transcript cannot realistically be considered de-identified, and how AI systems introduce heightened risks of re-identification. It reinforces a critical takeaway for practice leaders: HIPAA sets the floor — not the ceiling — for protecting client information, and governance must keep pace with emerging technologies. PCT CE Course: Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence: Implications in Clinical Practice If you're wanting a deeper, structured framework for evaluating AI in clinical practice, this 3-credit legal-ethical on-demand training with Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC, walks through the evolving legal standards, HIPAA considerations, and ethics code guidance that apply to AI use in behavioral health. You'll gain practical strategies for assessing new technologies, understanding emerging standards of care, and implementing AI tools in a way that is legally defensible and ethically sound.

This is especially relevant in the context of this episode because HIPAA is only part of the picture—state laws often impose additional requirements, including shorter notification timeframes and broader definitions of protected information. Reviewing the Mintz Matrix can help you understand your specific state obligations and ensure that your response to a breach is not only HIPAA-compliant, but also aligned with applicable state laws. The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Breach Portal provides essential guidance on what constitutes a reportable breach and what happens after a report is submitted. It explains that a breach involves the unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of protected health information that compromises its security or privacy, and outlines how OCR reviews, investigates, and resolves reported incidents. This is particularly relevant to this episode because it helps demystify what occurs after you file a breach report—reinforcing that reporting does not automatically trigger penalties, but instead initiates a review process that may include technical assistance, investigation, or closure without further action. Understanding this process can reduce fear and support more confident, compliant decision-making when responding to a breach.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Zachary Collier, assistant professor at Radford University and longtime member of the Society for Risk Analysis, to explore a hidden but increasingly urgent problem in global supply chains: intellectual property theft through overproduction. Drawing on his research in semiconductor supply chains, Dr. Collier explains how designers and manufacturers navigate trust, incentives, and risk with millions of dollars on the line. He breaks down how game theory helps illuminate the strategic decisions each party faces, why overproduction is so difficult to detect, and how approaches like split manufacturing can reduce vulnerability.
If you think a risk analysis is just another box to check on the HIPAA compliance to-do list, this episode might feel a bit like a reality check… with receipts. Using a real OCR settlement involving a phishing attack and nearly 2,000 patients' data, this discussion digs into what regulators actually expect when they say "risk analysis." Spoiler alert: it's a lot more than running a quick scan and calling it a day. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/551
Guest: Chris Hattingh |Executive Director at the Centre For Risk Analysis (CRA) South Africa’s economy grew by 1.1 percent in 2025, slightly below the National Treasury’s forecast but showing gradual improvement after several difficult years.

Atlanta leads the nation in canceled home purchase agreements, and the financial consequences for buyers are significant. Jeff Emalaba, founder and CEO of InvestFusion, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to explain how InvestFusion centralizes risk indicators into one platform, giving buyers a clearer understanding of whether a property aligns with their financial goals. The Real Cost of Hidden Property Defects in Today's Real Estate Market Emalaba founded InvestFusion after a personal loss on a duplex purchase in North Carolina. The property appeared financially sound, and the projected cash flow worked on paper. However, after committing nonrefundable due diligence fees, earnest money, appraisal costs and inspection expenses, significant undisclosed foundation issues surfaced. “That's when I realized that the biggest risk in real estate is not the market,” said Emalaba. “It's buyers going into contract blindly without realizing what is hidden beyond the surface.” Why Atlanta Ranks Among the Top Cities for Canceled Home Purchase Agreements According to a recent report from Redfin, more than 40,000 U.S. home purchase agreements were canceled in December — the highest level since 2017. That accounts for 16.3% of contracts nationwide. Atlanta's share of that activity is particularly notable. “Atlanta represents 22.5% of that ballpark number,” said Emalaba. “If we trickle down to Atlanta, that's more than $900 million in the metro area alone lost annually by buyers going under contract blindly.” These cancellations are not primarily driven by “cold feet” or fluctuating interest rates. Instead, many buyers uncover substantial issues during inspection that fundamentally alter the financial viability of the deal. In a market where buyers have more options and more leverage than in recent years, walking away has become more common. Top Real Estate Inspection Red Flags That Cause Deals to Fall Apart One of the key reasons contracts collapse in Atlanta's real estate market is the discovery of major property defects during the inspection period. Here are some red flags to look for: Structural and foundation problems Roofing HVAC Plumbing and electrical failures Permitting and code violations Flooding and drainage issues Title or boundary disputes Hazardous materials such as mold, asbestos or lead-based paint. “These are major things you don't see in drive-bys or by MLS photos,” said Emalaba. “You only discover this after going on inspection.” Many of these issues can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. When buyers realize the true scope of deferred maintenance or legal complications, the numbers often no longer make financial sense. As a result, they exit during due diligence — forfeiting time and, in some cases, money. Appraisal Gaps, Overstated Square Footage & Data Accuracy Risks While appraisal gaps dominated headlines during the pandemic-era bidding wars, today's risk profile has shifted. The issue is less about buyers offering above appraised value and more about inaccurate or incomplete data. Overstated square footage, outdated valuations and discrepancies between listing information and appraisal reports can cause lenders to reconsider financing. When the appraised value does not align with the contract price — or when square footage is misrepresented — deals often stall or collapse. Buyers must now evaluate whether a property's valuation truly supports long-term equity growth. Rising Home Insurance Costs Are Reshaping Atlanta Buying Decisions Insurance premiums have risen significantly since 2021, adding another layer of complexity to real estate transactions. Unexpected flood zone designations, prior insurance claims or property condition issues can dramatically increase monthly expenses. Emalaba said, “Nearly half of buyers now see that insurance costs heavily influence their purchase decisions.” When insurance is combined with property taxes, maintenance and financing, the total holding cost can quickly erode projected returns. Buyers are no longer asking only whether they can afford the mortgage payment. They are evaluating whether they can afford to hold the property long term. How InvestFusion Uses AI to Analyze Real Estate Risk Before You Sign a Contract Traditional due diligence is fragmented, requiring buyers to gather inspection reports, appraisals, title documents and insurance information from multiple sources — typically after funds have already been committed. InvestFusion consolidates that analysis into a single AI-powered platform. Emalaba said, “At a bare minimum, buyers are losing at least $7,000 or $8,000 when they go into those deals.” The platform analyzes more than 400 data points and generates a deal score in under a minute. It flags structural risks, zoning issues, flood exposure, valuation discrepancies and other material concerns before buyers put down nonrefundable funds. Before signing a contract, buyers should evaluate three primary factors: property condition risk, true valuation compared to the listing price and long-term holding costs. Keeping these considerations in mind helps ensure a property is not overpriced and that buyers fully understand insurance, tax and maintenance expenses. Tune in to the full episode to hear how InvestFusion brings greater transparency to residential real estate transactions.

Send us a textFind the downloadable skills guides here: Finance Leader AcademyEpisode 142: Financial risk assessment stands as the cornerstone of effective auditing—the crucial process that separates calculated risk-taking from reckless decision-making. This deep dive into organizational risk management provides finance leaders with a strategic framework for protecting company assets and ensuring financial integrity.At its core, proper risk assessment requires a cross-functional approach. By bringing together expertise from legal, treasury, accounting, and financial planning departments, organizations can conduct robust SWOT analyses that reveal potential vulnerabilities. The process continues with identifying key metrics related to areas of concern, scoring and ranking these metrics, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing internal controls. This methodical approach ensures that audit resources focus first on the areas presenting the greatest risk to financial health and operational integrity.The significance of this process cannot be overstated. By systematically identifying weaknesses in internal controls and operational policies, finance leaders can build audit plans that address real vulnerabilities rather than perceived threats. This validation process provides confidence to all stakeholders—from employees and suppliers to creditors and potential investors—that the organization maintains financial stability and follows a viable strategic course. Whether you're managing compliance risk, credit and liquidity challenges, market uncertainties, or operational vulnerabilities, a well-designed risk assessment protocol serves as your first line of defense against financial irregularities. Take time today to evaluate your risk management system and ensure it effectively engages internal experts to assess your organization's most pressing risks. Your company's long-term success may depend on it.Episode outline:Analyzing various risk metrics will help identify areas with the weakest internal controls, Why financial risk is the foundation of the audit plan, andProperly integrating risk into what you audit.

Did you know that the median retail investor spends only six minutes researching a stock before buying it? Most of that time is spent staring at a price chart—often just the current day's movement. Nick compares the limited “research” many individual investors conduct to the extensive analysis performed by Henssler's research analysts.K.C. then takes a closer look at the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that passed the House of Representatives just hours before we recorded. We discuss the revised State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap, the increased Child Tax Credit, and the proposed tax break on tip income. While the bill's fate in the Senate remains uncertain, it appears that many of Trump's 2017 tax cuts may be extended.Last Friday, after the market closed, Moody's became the third major credit rating agency to downgrade the U.S. government's debt rating. The cut comes at a time when global confidence in U.S. debt is wavering, and Congress is debating a tax bill that could further increase the national debt. We examine what this downgrade means and whether it reflects actual investment risk.After the break, D.J. breaks down Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and explains why they're one of the most powerful tools for saving money—thanks to their unique triple tax benefit. While many people use HSAs to pay for health-care expenses as they arise, there are compelling advantages to covering those costs from other funds and allowing the HSA to accumulate, benefiting from tax-deferred growth over time.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.Henssler Money Talks — May 24, 2025 | Season 39, Episode 21Timestamps and Chapters4:38: Impulse Investors26:31: House Approves One Big Beautiful Bill33:06: Moody's Downgrade39:50: Economic News45:37: HSAs: Triple Tax BenefitFollow Henssler: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

I sat down with Tinatin Japaridze to explore how history shapes her work as a geopolitical risk analyst at the Eurasia Group. We discussed the role of historical context in forecasting geopolitical risks and how historical training fosters deep curiosity about the world. Tinatin shared her unconventional path to the field—one that took her from composing a Eurovision song to journalism, a regional studies MA at Columbia, and even New York's local politics. She reflected on balancing the personal and professional in her work and how these diverse experiences ultimately made her a stronger analyst. We also dove into her book Stalin's Millennials (2022) and why talking to taxi drivers can be more insightful than you might think. Learn more about your ad choices.
