In this five-part podcast series, I take a deep dive into healthcare monitoring and how the pro-active use of a healthcare monitor can positively impact all stakeholders in the healthcare industry: the regulators, the healthcare industry and the consumers of healthcare services, the public. I am joined in this exploration with two individuals from Affiliated Monitors, Inc. (AMI), the sponsor of this series, Catherine A. Keyes, Vice President of Operations, and Jesse Caplan, Managing Director of Corporate Oversight. In this age of the Coronavirus health crisis and the Trump Administration’s bailout package, these issues are even more important. In this Episode 2, I visit with Jesse Caplan on the significance of proactive assessments in healthcare ethics and compliance program.

A program manager in a power plant process group told me about the “mock audit” that his company performs in its power plants across the country. He explained that his industry is heavily regulated at both the state and federal level. Power plants are subject to numerous levels of oversight including various ISO standards to which they must comply. ISO is the International Organization for Standardization, and it develops and publishes International Standards for various industries and organizations.
The DOJ has continually made clear that compliance audits, with actionable remediation plans, are a key component of any effective compliance program. The concept of the mock audit is one that can facilitate continuous improvement. It is a process designed to help your employees do business in a more compliant manner and it is a tool that should not be overlooked.
Three key takeaways:
- Always remember compliance folks and the business folks wear the same color shirt.
- Review your findings with the group being assessed.
- Use the mock audit to both learn and educate.

Amanda welcomes back Call Center Supervisor Angela Earnhardt to discuss the potential conflict of interest for compliance officers who turn into whistleblowers. Also, paleontologists and teacher-unicorns.

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picardwhich is currently streaming on CBS. Today, Episode 10, “Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2”.
SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth.
Episode 10, Et in Arcadia Ego-Part 2. Jurati uses subterfuge to free Picard from house arrest. Narek allies with Rios and Raffi to destroy the beacon calling the super-synths to the planet. They head into the settlement while Picard and Jurati go to the now empty Rios and take off to thy and hold off the Romulan fleet. On the Artifact (Borg Cube) 7/9 finds Narissa trying to activate weapons on the cube and kills her after a fight (for Hugh). Elnor, Rios, Raffi and Narek go into the settlement to try and destroy the beacon. Picard and Jurati fly up to meet the Romulan fleet and perform a variation of the Picard Maneuver. General Oh gives the order to “sterilize the entire planet but Picard (and the Orchids) distract her long enough for Riker and the Fleet to arrive and save the day. Picard’s terminal condition arrives and he dies after saving the planet. He meets Data who asks to “die”. Picard, resurrected as a synth obliges. The crew of the La Serena flies off for new adventures.
Highlights, speculations and questions include:
- Homage to the Picard Maneuver (again)?
- Campfire setting Narek tells the story of Gambadan.
- Were Elnor, Rios and Raffi right to ally with Narek?
- Why did Picard offer to sacrifice himself (and Jurati) for the synths?
- How did Soji get to the right choice?
- Arrival of the cavalry with Riker in charge.
- Death of Picard and Data.
- Picard as a synth.
- Off to new adventures?
- Cookies

Jonathan Nystrom is the CEO of Intensity Analytics, and this week’s guest. He joins Vince Walden to talk about his company’s program, TickStream, which uses astronomical principles to protect virtual identity. Identity is the bedrock on which virtually everything in our world operates, Jonathan says. It affects every facet of a company, and while the IT department plays a big role, it is management’s job to establish it. How we protect identity today is a conglomeration of rules that our adversaries will learn to break if we continue to do things the same way.
There are 300 billion passwords currently in use and most of them have no protection in terms of multi-factor authentication. More than 80% of breaches occur as a result of stolen credentials. Intensity Analytics has developed a solution that enables systems to recognize you based on your unique password typing frequency. It is an added layer of authentication security that proves your identity rather than proving you possess access to your account. The algorithms were developed using insights from astronomy, and are now patented as a part of a core of the technology. It doesn’t even need to know your password, Jonathan says, just how you type it. Attempting to use other principles left it prey to a mathematical limitation called the Curse of Dimensionality, which comes up when comparing an infinite number of items to determine similarities.
This technology falls under the category of movement biometrics, which are more reliable than standard biometrics. Movement is being captured at a microscopic level, preventing the possibility of anyone else successfully impersonating you.
