What Is ComplyBetter?
ComplyBetter is a cloud-based compliance management platform that provides Washington State dental offices with everything they need to stay compliant with HIPAA, OSHA/WISHA, infection control/bloodborne pathogens regulations, and Washington Dental Commission requirements — all under one annual membership.
Most dental practices manage compliance through a patchwork approach: one vendor for HIPAA documentation, another for OSHA training, a binder of infection control policies that may or may not be current, and hope that someone remembers the Washington-specific requirements. ComplyBetter replaces all of that with a single, integrated platform where documents auto-generate based on your practice's specific answers to compliance questionnaires, staff training is assigned and tracked automatically, and everything stays current as regulations change.
The platform was developed by the WSDA — the same organization that represents Washington dentists at the state level. This means the compliance guidance isn't generic national templates adapted for Washington; it's built from the ground up for WA-specific requirements, including WISHA (Washington's version of OSHA), Washington Dental Commission rules, and state-specific infection control mandates.
Key Features
HIPAA Compliance
Customizable policies and procedures documentation. Streamlined Security Risk Assessment (SRA) tool — the annual assessment that most practices either forget or dread. Vendor tracking for Business Associate Agreements. Asset management for electronic devices that handle PHI. Two training courses: office-specific HIPAA policies and general HIPAA compliance (1 CE hour). Templates for Notice of Privacy Practices, PHI disclosure authorizations, and breach notification materials.
OSHA/WISHA Compliance
Customizable Accident Prevention Program covering bloodborne pathogens, hazard communication, infectious waste, respiratory protection, and workplace violence. Staff training course customized to your office's specific policies. Safety committee meeting templates. Hazard communication resources, safety data sheets, injury reporting forms, and required workplace poster downloads.
Infection Control
Bloodborne Pathogens Exposure Control Plan integrated with OSHA documentation. Annual infection control training (2 CE hours) covering sterilization, disinfection, evacuation protocols, and waterline testing. Fulfills Washington Dental Commission continuing education requirements.
Washington Dental Commission Compliance Guide
Annual checklist covering emergency preparedness, continuing education tracking, jurisprudence exam resources, suicide prevention training, health equity requirements, opioid prescribing education, BLS certification, and office inspection documentation. This is the WA-specific layer that national compliance vendors don't provide.
Document Generation & Management
All policies auto-generate based on practice-specific questionnaire responses. Single-click updates when regulations change — no manually editing Word documents. Documents can be revised at any time without additional charges.
Training Management
Automatic role-based training assignment (clinicians, front office, sterilization staff, management). Progress tracking for every employee. New hires can be onboarded into compliance training immediately.
