Stephen A. Burt, President, Healthcare Compliance Resources, an affiliate of Woods Rogers Consulting, has been involved in surveying hospitals, long-term care facilities, physician and dental offices, and other healthcare facilities to ensure compliance with OSHA, HIPAA, EPA, HHS, CMS, and TJC regulations since the early 1980s. His company represents over 25 hospitals, 20 long term care facilities, 500 physician offices, and 75 dental offices in the southeast, providing them with OSHA, HIPAA, and other regulatory compliance services.
