The guide clearly explains what is required and what is no longer needed, which makes it much easier to stay compliant without feeling overwhelmed.
The information is presented in a simple and practical way, making it easy to apply in our day-to-day practice. It really helped me gain clarity and confidence around documentation expectations.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Leisa, and she was very supportive and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly and took the time to answer my questions, which made a big difference.
