"There is a methodical agenda to keep healthcare workers and patients ignorant of healthcare laws and policies. So that fraud, malpractice, and misrepresentation from boards benefiting from these agendas, of false interpretation of law, to achieve profits, appears normal.
These boards violate patient safety and licensing malpractice laws. It is the greatest deception and failure of fiduciary responsibility."
CLINICAL PRACTICE & PATIENT SAFETY
Advancing Traceable Non-Compliance Reports and Fiduciary Illegalities & Failures
BRANDON-HART™ developed the the "VASCULAR ACCESS RICO METER™" a proprietary framework designed to visualize ethics, compliance, reporting accuracy and regulatory oversight within vascular access and healthcare systems.
Is your state examining board, healthcare facility, association, following federal and state laws, or are they creating their own rules outside of legal authority, side deals with hospitals, other boards, companies,
putting your license, patients and healthcare facility at risk?
We may be able to help in our ethics library.
VA-BC® Training Center through licensed partnership, can analyze and provide full assessment reports on compliance. We are legal experts on vascular access documentation, procedures and protocols. In 2016, we initiated the CMS Regulation, Oversight, and Compliance for Vascular Access.
In 2026, we initiate the VASCULAR ACCESS RICO METER™ adding our legal assessments of examining boards, non-profit associations, state audit reports and the tabulation of injury cases to patients in the United States. As leading authorities within the industry of vascular access, we take these kinds of case studies very seriously.
The Brandon-Hart™ Vascular Access Ethics Meter™ is a conceptual educational framework in 2016 designed to illustrate patterns of ethics, compliance, reporting integrity, and regulatory oversight within healthcare systems.
The Brandon-Hart™ Vascular Access RICO Meter™ in 2026 is a conceptual educational framework in investigating the collaboration of non-profit organizations for fraud and violators of laws, ethical CDC reporting and safety for profits.
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law (codified at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–68) designed to address organized patterns of unlawful activity. This framework introduces a structured method for evaluating compliance, oversight behavior, and systemic risk within vascular access environments.
Brandon-Hart™ developed the Vascular Access RICO Meter™ after identifying patterns of concern within vascular access oversight, including potential misalignment between regulatory boards, healthcare organizations, and clinical practice standards. These patterns may impact licensing integrity, patient safety, and compliance with federal healthcare regulations.

This public safety information is brought to you by the BRANDON-HART™ VASCULAR ACCESS ETHICS LIBRARY.
BRANDON-HART™ known as Josephine Brandon and William J. Hart are founders of VA-BC® and VASCULAR ACCESS BECOME CERTIFIED™ in vascular access industry.
Josephine Brandon, William J. Hart,
VA-BC® Training Center, and Phoenix Vascular Access® filed a lawsuit in 2025 against AVA and VACC for trademark infringement, confusion and non-profit fraud.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, leads the nation in having whistleblowers come forward expressing massive concerns with fraud at hospitals and license malpractice within vascular access patient care.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, addresses national facts with CLABSI metrics being inaccurate, multi-disciplinary board certifications in vascular access being illegally distributed and used with fraud billing across hospitals committing billing fraud.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals how non-profit vascular access organizations that stated their mission was to protect and serve the public, were actually lining their pockets for profits that appear to violate federal, state and anti-trust laws. These organizations were never benefiting members or patients, but actually executives and attorneys at the top who control the dialogue of interpretation of law to general public and obtained the benefit of funding.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals how boards paid Attorneys and CPA's of nonprofit organizations to confuse the public from actual interpretation of scope of care laws, claiming AVA and VACC were methodically malignant in ethics, committed malpractice and participated in one of the largest misinformation tactics destroying the integrity of vascular access placement, metrics and patient safety standards.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals how nurses and doctors were petrified of losing their jobs, forced to train out of scope licensed or lose their jobs and then getting fired anyway after they fulfilled the fraudulent hospital policy.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals how Institute of Credentialing Excellence and their NCCA is in violation of USPTO laws and intentionally negated obligatory fiduciary responsibilities. Along with AVA and VACC, they were reported to the National Fraud Enforcement Division together with the Federal Bureau Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission for issues of violations within the framework of RICO and anti-trust laws.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals how state and federal health departments receive a high volume of complaints annually, with numbers exceeding 100,000 for specific sectors such as long-term care facilities. Complaints against health agencies have grown significantly, increasing by 69% over a recent five-year period.
BRANDON-HART™ Ethics Library, reveals:
Key Complaint Statistics
Nursing Homes and Hospitals: State-run inspection agencies received more than 107,000 complaints regarding health care facilities last year.
Federal Health Agency Complaints: Americans filed over 51,000 complaints against health agencies, a number that grew 69% over the last five years.
Hospitals Specifically: More than 14,500 complaints were lodged against hospitals in fiscal 2024, representing a 79% increase since 2019.
HIPAA Privacy Violations: The federal Office for Civil Rights investigates thousands of complaints yearly regarding health information privacy, with 34,077 received in 2021.
Long-Term Care Backlog: In Arizona, approximately 56% of the 4,958 long-term care facility complaints received in 2017 and 2018 remained open and uninvestigated as of June 2019. These numbers increased dramatically after 2020.
High-Priority Complaints: A 2022 follow-up report found that 73% of 156 high-priority complaints in Arizona did not have on-site investigations initiated within the required 10 working days.
Increasing Volume: CMS reports that the number of complaints requiring investigation across all regulated settings has grown over 31% since fiscal 2019.
38 states failed to meet federal nursing home recertification goals in 2024 due to high complaint numbers.
Hospitals in the United States have been implicated in various forms of policy abuse, ranging from illegal scope of care placement of vascular access medical lines, billing fraud, abuse of nurses and healthcare workers under administrative rules, and aggressive collection tactics to failing to meet charity care requirements, resulting in billions of dollars in annual financial impacts.
These practices often involve non-profit institutions prioritizing revenue over patient care and failing to meet the community benefit standards necessary for their tax-exempt status.
TRANSPARENCY AND SYSTEM AWARENESS
Trends In Public Misinformation & Failed Fiduciary Responsibilities To The American Public & Licensed Professionals
Regulatory authority is not discretionary power, it is a fiduciary obligation.
Board members and affiliated organizations are entrusted with a duty of care, loyalty, and lawful governance. That duty requires that all regulatory decisions, scope-of-practice interpretations, and policy positions be exercised transparently, within statutory authority, and in the best interest of public safety, not private or institutional benefit.
When a regulatory body permits or supports clinical practices through informal guidance, unpublished interpretations, or external influence, particularly where financial or institutional interests may benefit, it raises serious concerns regarding breach of fiduciary duty, ultra vires action, and failure of public trust.
In such circumstances, the issue is no longer administrative discretion, it becomes a question of whether regulatory authority has been used in a manner inconsistent with legal obligations, governance standards, and the protection of patients.
Granting regulatory authority without transparency is like allowing air traffic controllers to redirect planes using unpublished rules, while simultaneously benefiting from where those planes land.
The system may appear operational on the surface, but without visibility, accountability, and adherence to established law, the risk is not theoretical, it is systemic.
And when something goes wrong, the absence of transparency is not a defense; it becomes the central issue.
Our direct position is AVA and VACC, including their attorneys and CPAs, methodically and intentionally, violated duty of care, violated duty of loyalty and acted outside authority (Ultra Vires) and on top of this AVA and VACC committed fraud with EIN's and corporate federal and state filings.
UNDERSTANDING THE FACTS
Respiratory Therapists CANNOT legally place vascular access medical lines in patients. Vascular Access medical line placements are to be inserted by licensed nurses and doctors. That is the federal and state law.
Vascular Access Medical Lines, are FDA regulated, and include PICC's, Midlines and Peripheral IV"s.
There is a dangerous scam happening in vascular access and it's coming directly from AVA and VACC non-profit organizations who are financially benefiting and providing misinformation to the public and hospitals about credentials, accreditation, board certifications, laws, metrics, and safety.
AVA and VACC are in direct violation of laws in trademark and fiduciary responsibility.
Since we filed a lawsuit in May of 2025, AVA and VACC tried to dilute our VA-BC® brand, including trying to create new narratives of disassociation from one another as organizations and it is atrocious. We have traced and taken down violators as we find them to ensure the safety of patients.
Amazon and organizations who are abiding by our trademark have supported all the take downs we have reported. And we are grateful for that.
AVA and VACC financial benefits are being revealed as we peel the layers of discovery with finding illegal procedures within federal and state laws among many areas.
All financially benefited while putting patients at risk and misrepresented laws to the public. They clearly knew the laws and they had no legal authority under federal and state laws to imply in any capacity the safety of respiratory therapists placing FDA regulated vascular access medical lines, when none existed.
Tracing violators connected to fiduciary violations all benefiting financially, putting patients at risk and misrepresenting the law.
Respiratory Examining Board Members are violating laws.
There are many violations including board meeting minutes, press releases that were scrubbed away after our lawsuit, however whistleblowers gave us what we need. And General Audit Reports attached are also evidence of widescale fiduciary failures in governance of safety and policy.
The Arizona Respiratory Examining Board and North Carolina Respiratory Board, which have absolutely no credible history in clinical or regulatory compliance, violated laws, and were performing outside of legal authority and were induced to agree to hospital executives who approached them to have the hospitals create their own policy without regulation, oversight and without federal and state approval.
The respiratory examining board has since denied the conversation ever existed with the executive of a hospital to allow respiratory therapists to place vascular access lines, but we have obtained evidence of board minutes, board members and press releases that were scrubbed in possession.
Board members of that examining board violated the laws.
We also found that certain respiratory examining board members annual pay was increased and financially benefited from the decision that this board member was never legally ever allowed to make.
Several emails and notices were sent to these respiratory examining boards to provide us with any and all legal approval of federal and state laws for respiratory therapists to place vascular access medical lines, and all we get is crickets. Because they know NONE EXISTS.
They have not produced one document to us. They avoid the conversation, the handing over of documentation and any board member connected to failing fiduciary rule of law.
There is the connected scheme among those who know policy to manipulate those who do not. Those abusing laws want the public and healthcare workers to remain ignorant, but we will not let that happen.
ALL BOARD MEMBERS ALLOWED THIS TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FINANCIAL PORTFOLIOS.
We want lawyers representing patients to understand the magnitude of this huge fiduciary failure.
Respiratory boards, including the AARC, American Association for Respiratory Therapists, AVA Association For Vascular Access and VACC Vascular Access Certification Corporation, and Hospitals need to be held LEGALLY accountable for any and all CLABSI DEATHS, infections, patient injuries and vascular access billing fraud submitted to CMS, Insurance Companies in those states where lines were inserted illegally by out of scope practitioners.
Lawyers protecting patients and injury cases must be educated to legally demand all vascular access documentation and see who it was performed by and billed under. Because of out of scope billing is illegal, out of scope care placement is illegal, and how they present themselves to patients as "Vascular Access Specialists" is illegal. This is TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION.
These organizations MUST remove our trademark on all papers and platforms as no authority or license permission was ever authorized.
These organizations must provide legal provisions to all test takers and all hospitals using any "multi-disciplinary board certification" that the board certification they attained does not meet federal and state law for scope of care and it does not meet federal and state laws for FDA regulated medical vascular access lines placement if you are a respiratory therapist and it was never authorized to use any VA-BC® credential of ours.
THE MISINFORMATION AND CONFUSION MUST END
These organizations financially benefited from the illegal application of these multi-board certifications without regulatory oversight and the law requires they hold themselves to fiduciary responsibility.
These examining boards and the associations collaborated on an agenda of replacing nursing, methodically all profiting and benefiting from "multi-disciplinary board certifications" outside of scope care, and going outside the law.
They had a fiduciary responsibility to flat out say, that is out of our decision making capabilities, vascular access medical lines placements are to be performed following the license regulations of federal and state laws.
But they all operated illegally, misrepresenting themselves for financial benefits and manipulated systems, interpretations of law to the public, administrators, and to patients and irresponsibly permitted telling patients they were Vascular Access Specialists, when they legally were not.
And we haven't even begun to share what we found with how AVA and VACC fraudulently handled their corporate structure.
We have seen patients who have died from vascular access failures, administrators change safety rules on what lines to place for financial benefits, and we have seen patients with injuries from vascular access medical lines placements that were incorrectly placed, causing additional costs and harm to the patients, and patients who have claimed they were in the worst terrible pain with having lines placed at hospitals where respiratory therapists were placing lines.
We want these non-profit associations, and non profit hospitals who used their "multi-disciplinary board certifications" without legal boundaries investigated.
The investigation should include, how hospitals billed the patients insurance companies and CMS for vascular access procedure performed by an out of scope professional for the benefit of a hospital profits.
We found many administrative and CEO bonus money attached to incentives to change processes that hurt the industry. This is relevant to the public being misinformed and how they failed fiduciary responsibility and used all of this misinformation and billing for financial gain.
And to present this in another clear picture, one of the CEO's of these non-profit hospitals billing vascular access procedures with multi-disciplinary board certifications and having respiratory therapists placing lines illegally, did not even allow their own staff (respiratory therapists ) to place vascular access lines on his family member.
They called our company instead to place vascular access medical lines for the CEO's loved ones. We had to go to their home to do the procedures because they did not want it done in their own hospital.
What does that tell you? It's good for the public to be used in experiments, but not good for those they love. It's unethical and it has to stop.
We also tried to help the hospital and proposed a solution, but they continued to create their own policy and bill CMS and insurance companies for vascular access procedures that legally could not be billed under respiratory therapists by scope of care laws.
Our position is without question:
Both Non-Profits AVA Association For Vascular Access & VACC Vascular Access Certification Corporation committed fraud and violated their fiduciary responsibility. We have the public documents and we have traced the fraud to members of their board and to attorneys and CPA's who all participated in these fraudulent documents, which they all financially benefited from each other.
AVA and VACC financially benefited from widespread misinformation and lack of transparency, putting us, patients, hospitals, licensed professionals and public at risk, causing massive confusion.
Both AVA and VACC allowed and incited the ripple in healthcare fraud with creating a multi-disciplinary board certification without boundaries in regards to the actual laws in place.
Allowing hospitals to abuse hospital policy and used AVA/VACCS "multi-disciplinary board certification" outside the federal and state law of scope of care, defrauding CMS, insurance companies in billing for vascular access.
They promoted, aligned and gave permission slips to fraudulently permit out of scope licensed individuals to place lines and be addressed as "Vascular Access Specialists" which is all 100% illegal.
This was a colluded effort of people in high places knowing how to manipulate licensed professionals, patients and the entire system to achieve the outcome of financial benefits while having healthcare professionals perform work that is malpractice and having patients believe they were in the hands of safety when there was no safety or regulatory oversight.
They did this for the benefit of their profits, not public safety.
They lied to healthcare professionals on shortages, when they initiated the shortages of nurses through a diabolical messaging of shortages from administrators involved in fraudulent agendas to methodically increase profits through replacing nurses with respiratory therapists for half the cost, an agenda of profits for themselves and their shareholders.
Both organizations need to have their non-profit status removed as they clearly did not have public interest of safety at the heart of their mission. It was all about profits.
AVA and VACC benefited and profited by misinformation to the public and healthcare professionals with regards to federal and state laws governing scope of care laws. They knew better and did it anyway. It was intentional, methodical and it was greedy and irresponsible.
And that is only one part of the fraud that is attached to this collaborative scam.
The other part is that the entire CLABSI metrics are not accurate and information given to the CDC is a great deception to the American public. We are in danger here for the vascular access industry.
It is a travesty to the vascular access industry and the science we all rely on for safe vascular access medical line placements.
Policy Laundering, Credential Laundering, Information Laundering, Regulatory Capture
Tracing AVA Association For Vascular Access and VACC's Vascular Access Certification Corporation patterns of elements of policy, credential laundering, where information and designations are presented through authoritative channels to create the appearance of legitimacy, despite inconsistencies with established scope-of-practice laws and anti-trust laws.
AVA collects funds from vascular access industry advertisers and is not protecting the interest of licensed healthcare workers.
They are in violation of DUTY OF CARE, DUTY OF OBEDIENCE AND DUTY OF LOYALTY.
Fiduciaries must not place themselves in positions where their personal or financial interests conflict with their obligations.
When a nonprofit organization derives financial benefit from industry relationships while simultaneously shaping professional standards, educational narratives, or credentialing structures, it creates a risk that decisions are influenced by factors other than the best interests of the professionals and public the organization is intended to serve.
Nondelegable Duty
Nonprofit organizations operating within the vascular access space are bound by fiduciary duties requiring them to act in the best interests of the professionals and public they serve.
When such organizations receive financial support from industry stakeholders while influencing credentialing, education, and practice standards, it raises concerns regarding conflicts of interest and the duty of loyalty.
If those same organizations promote or support clinical practices that are inconsistent with established scope-of-practice laws or competency frameworks, the issue extends further into potential breaches of the duty of care and obedience.
In the context of certification and examinations, where organizations define competency and influence clinical behavior, these fiduciary obligations are heightened. Any misalignment between financial interests, credentialing practices, and legal or clinical standards raises serious concerns regarding governance, accountability, and patient safety.
When financial relationships intersect with the power to define clinical competency, the risk is not theoretical, it is structural.
A nonprofit that benefits from industry funding while influencing certification standards and scope-related practices must ensure that its decisions remain independent, lawful, and grounded in patient safety.
If those safeguards are absent, the issue is no longer simply governance, it becomes a question of whether fiduciary duties have been compromised in a manner that affects both professional integrity and public trust.
These organizations below IN RED have been reported and are under investigation for misinformation to the public and what we believe and define as "they failed fiduciary responsibility" provided misinformation to the public and licensed professionals, and collaborated for financial benefits that hurt us, license professionals, insurance companies, CMS, CDC and the public.
These are our position statements made public in our federal lawsuit against AVA and VACC and to Federal Trade Commission, Federal Bureau Investigation and National Fraud Investigations of Non-Profit Organizations.
ARIZONA RESPIRATORY BOARD
HAS FAILED ETHICAL TRANSPARENCY
FAILED FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBLITY
The Arizona Respiratory Care Examining Board is under active scrutiny and investigation. State audit reports have identified findings associated with potential harm, while ongoing difficulties in obtaining public records raise serious concerns regarding transparency. Evidence further suggests that board-level actions with infiltration of additional funds to specific board members, may have illegally enabled hospitals to implement vascular access policies outside their lawful authority. These combined factors represent a significant concern for regulatory compliance, governance, and public safety. We see this as dangerous to patients, licensing, and malpractice."
NORTH CAROLINA RESPIRATORY BOARD HAS FAILED ETHICAL TRANSPARENCY
FAILED FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBLITY
North Carolina Respiratory Care Examining Board is under scrutiny active investigation. State audit reports have identified findings associated with financial assessments with no oversight whatsover in it's history of reports online in evaluation of regulatory decisions, scope-of-practice interpretations, or patient safety implications.
In plain English - no one is auditing what they are actually allowing clinicians to do. Their positions statement clearly states that respiratory therapists are not a taught vascular access and yet they compromised their role as examiners to allow hospitals to create rules outside federal and state laws. We see this as dangerous to patients, licensing and malpractice."
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS HAS FAILED ETHICAL TRANSPARENCY
FAILED FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBLITY
The National Association for Respiratory Therapists failed to provide any legal document that proved that respiratory therapists have the legal ability to place vascular access medical lines, other than offering a permission statement. Their position statement completely misleads the public comparing arterial lines within respiratory care to vascular access medical lines which are not the same thing and they absolutely know this, but the general public does not. We see this position statement as dangerous to patients, licensing and malpractice."
