Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney and YouCompli Team Up to Transform Health Care Compliance

PITTSBURGH – October 27, 2016 – Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, a national, full-service law firm and YouCompli, a provider of health care focused compliance software, announce a collaboration to deliver practical solutions to health care providers looking to manage their regulatory challenges more efficiently than ever.

YouCompli analyzes health care regulations and uses innovative software to deliver practical compliance requirements to health care providers. Buchanan’s health care attorneys review and validate the accuracy of the guidelines.

“Health care executives are facing a new regulatory reality, operating under tremendous pressure to decrease costs without sacrificing quality,” says Jerry Shafran, CEO and founder of YouCompli. “Regulatory settlements now include a personal component, whereby executives are reaching into their own pockets to pay. This unique approach delivers a solution that will help providers mitigate risks, decrease costs and gain peace of mind.”

“In an industry where compliance is paramount and regulations are many, health care providers seek comprehensive solutions to complex and costly problems,” notes Dale Webber, chair of Buchanan’s health care section. “As a result of this relationship with YouCompli, our attorneys will be able to help health care providers transform their compliance function. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.”

How YouCompli Works

Using YouCompli software is a straightforward process. First, the Expert Content Professional (ECP) uploads the regulation. Then, the ECP translates the regulation into a Business Requirement, using a step-by-step system created by YouCompli.

After an attorney from Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney reviews the Business Requirement and modifies the draft as appropriate, the final version is transferred to YouCompli’s website (i.e., the marketplace), where unlimited clients in the health care sector can purchase the same Business Requirement. Every time a client buys a Business Requirement, the ECP gets paid.

According to Mr. Shafran, “Traditionally, the only customer for a compliance professional’s work has been his or her employer. Because the employer only uses the work once, that person, no matter how skilled, is paid only once. Using our model, these skilled professionals can earn money forever, if clients continually purchase the business requirement which they created.”

Press Release Announcing Transformative Compliance Platform

START-UP TRANSFORMS HOW HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS MANAGE THEIR REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES

Pittsburgh-based youCompli focusing on healthcare regulations

Pittsburgh, August 18, 2016 – Healthcare providers are under tremendous pressure to reduce their administrative costs. Although critically important, regulatory compliance is often an area where this pressure is most intense. Jerry Shafran, a serial technology entrepreneur, has established youCompli. This first-of-its-kind software platform introduces aspects of the sharing economy to the challenges associated with healthcare compliance. Healthcare providers need access to compliance expertise and tools to perform compliance-related activities, and youCompli provides those resources at a fraction of the cost healthcare organizations currently pay for compliance-related services.

“youCompli is a game changer in the regulatory world and is intended to produce the massive degree of disruption that Uber and Lyft are causing the transportation industry,” says Mr. Shafran. “Historically, compliance professionals apply their knowledge to a single regulated organization — their employers. For the first time ever, compliance-related knowledge can be created and then re-used by multiple organizations. Through youCompli, healthcare providers can relieve or eliminate ‘pain points’ related to the translation, communication, execution and reporting of regulatory requirements.”

Prior to establishing youCompli, Mr. Shafran founded Compliance Assurance Corporation to help insurance industry professionals understand and interpret federal and state

regulations. Last year, the company was sold to North Carolina-based Falfurrias Capital. He also founded Ceeva, which provides managed software services to clients in a wide range of business sectors.

How youCompli Works

Using youCompli software is a straightforward process. First, the Expert Compliance Professional (ECP) uploads the regulation. Then, using a step-by-step process, the ECP translates the regulation into business requirements. The requirements provide the regulated entity with the specific activities they must undertake to comply.

After a nationally recognized law firm reviews the requirement, youCompli transfers the requirement to its website (i.e., the marketplace), where multiple clients in the healthcare sector can purchase the same requirement. Once purchased, the client downloads the requirement into a custom built workflow management system and uses it as a checklist to ensure that the requirements have been completed. Every time a client buys a requirement, both the ECP and the law firm get paid.

According to Mr. Shafran, “Traditionally, the only client for an ECP’s work has been his or her employer. Because the employer only uses the work once, the ECP, no matter how skilled, is paid only once. Using our model, an ECP can earn an almost unlimited amount of money. Every time the requirement is purchased, the ECP gets paid. ”
