Tracy Wale has been a Registered Nurse for almost 40 years, with a strong background in healthcare compliance, licensure and certification.

She also held the titles of Director of Women’s and Children’s Nursing, Director of Children’s Nursing and House Supervisor.

A need was identified in private practice, and in 1996, Compliance Alliance was born.

I am a dentist in Nevada who has had the good fortune of opening her own practice. As many of you know, opening or buying a practice triggers an OSHA & infection control inspection from the board. Dental school offered an extensive curriculum, but how to set up and implement compliance programs was NOT on the list. After many months of interrupted attempts to fill in all the blanks in canned programs I purchased through a vendor, I contracted Compliance Alliance. They calmed my nerves and not only trained all my new employees but went the extra mile — they actually combed through our entire office to ensure we were up to date on all the latest changes. This allowed me to relax and focus on patient care while they handled the development, training and legwork. They are outstanding at what they do, and even though I am a fairly recent grad and practice how I was taught, them being available just in case and making sure everything is proper gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Compliance Alliance to everyone!
