About Compliant Films
Our Committment to Better Education.
Compliant Films is committed to making healthcare compliance training more interesting, more memorable and more effective through the use of video. It combines the talents of Karie and Antonio Rego whose abilities, skills and experiences form a unique team that can create meaningful programming that is both engaging and memorable.
Karie has been a Medicare reimbursement and fraud attorney for over 17 years working with some of the very best attorneys in the country at the top law firms of Jones Day and McDermott, Will & Emery, where she was a partner.
The genesis of Compliant Films was Karie’s recent experience as an in-house compliance officer at one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the country. Karie realized that getting simple messages to the clinicians and administrators was the best way to improve compliance and prevent costly mistakes before they happen. The problem was there were no education materials that were clear and concise enough to appeal to this busy audience.
Karie created the materials by first identifying several high-risk areas that have existed for many years that would likely to trigger an investigation. She then summarized pages of rules for each area into the most important points that viewers could understand. Finally, she developed examples that emphasized improving patient experience and patient care.
Every detail from the overall theme to individual lines delivered by the actors was crafted to minimize risk that the materials could be used against a provider by the government. Further, the video format is perfect for preventively addressing key misunderstandings that create more expensive and serious qui tams and government investigations. Karie and Antonio have also created several more general commercials that are carefully scripted and creative but emphasize the important role of compliance and integrity as a partner.
Antonio Rego is an award winning producer, writer and editor with over 15 years experience creating broadcast, on demand, home video and internet programming. He has a well-earned reputation for delivering high-quality products for high-demand clients.
After graduating with a degree in rhetoric from the Univerity of California at Berkeley, Antonio co-founded a multimedia production company in Los Angeles that, for many years, created educational health, fitness and sports programming. He then worked with one of the most successful producers in Hollywood, Peter Guber, the former chairman of Sony Entertainment, at Mandalay Pictures, where he created and produced award winning programming for Warner Bros., ABC Family Network, USA Network and Yahoo!. One of his favorite projects at Mandalay was a network television show focusing on children’s health and fitness that was sponsored by a major health care system.
Since moving to Northern California, Antonio has immersed himself in all technical aspects of video production, web design and web delivery as an independent producer focusing on the areas of health care and health and fitness. His current work includes productions for major healthcare systems, health and fitness companies, health care associations and disease specific foundations. He specializes in creating opportunities that take advantage of the changing nature of media production and distribution.
Antonio and Karie worked closely together in developing the Compliance Education Series scripts. Its storylines were chosen to create a consistent theme but also leave the viewer wondering about future programs. Fun elements like the dreams were added specifically to engage viewers and vest them in the education. Compliant Films is, in essence, about making carefully crafted programs that teach, entertain and emphasize that compliance and integrity is a resource and partner for making the complicated clear and concise.
