Are your quality, privacy, and safety procedures working together—or sitting in separate binders?

For healthcare, dental and medical practices and dental laboratories, SOPs are more than paperwork. Clear, current procedures help teams perform critical tasks consistently and support applicable FDA, HIPAA, and OSHA requirements, depending on the facility’s activities and obligations.

When procedures are never cross-referenced or reviewed together, gaps can be easier to miss. Integrated compliance advisory helps connect them into a coordinated approach to daily work.

Is your team preparing for FDA registration renewal?

For medical device establishments required to register, the annual renewal period runs October 1–December 31. Starting early gives you time to review facility information, update device listings, and complete payment and renewal submission before the year-end deadline.

Our seven-step guide helps you work through the process, from accessing your FDA account to confirming your renewal and preparing for possible inspections.

Your workplace has fire extinguishers—but does your team know what to do in a fire emergency?

October is Fire Prevention Month. Take time to review your emergency action plan, extinguisher selection and placement, and employee training.

For employees authorized and trained to use an extinguisher, remember PASS:
• Pull the pin.
• Aim at the base of the fire.
• Squeeze the trigger.
• Sweep back and forth at the base.

PASS does not replace training. Your team should know when to evacuate and understand their responsibilities before an emergency happens.

If you work in a med spa, clinical skill is only part of the picture.

Your license, your scope of practice, your supervision arrangement, and your documentation all affect your personal liability.

Our latest article walks through the questions every NP, PA, RN, and physician in a med spa should be asking:

• Am I authorized to perform this procedure in my state?
• Does my supervision agreement meet board requirements?
• If a complication happens, does my documentation support my clinical judgment?

Compliance is not separate from clinical work. It is part of defensible care.

Quick question for business owners: if something happened right now - a fire, a medical emergency, severe weather - would your employees know exactly what to do?

If you have more than 10 employees, OSHA requires a written emergency action plan. If you have fewer, you're still expected to have one and make sure your team actually knows it, even without a written copy.

We put together a complete guide covering what OSHA expects, how to build a plan step by step, and a free checklist so you can see exactly where your business stands today.

Has your quality team adjusted to the new FDA inspection framework yet?

Since February, the FDA has replaced 21 CFR Part 820 with the QMSR - building its inspections around ISO 13485:2016 instead. The QSR you built your quality system around is officially retired.

That means inspectors aren't just checking boxes anymore. They're looking at whether your risk management, design controls, CAPA, and post-market surveillance actually work together as one system.

We break down what changed, which FDA requirements are still non-negotiable (MDR, UDI, registration), and what to expect at your next inspection.
