The Chicago Medical Society presents in conjunction with the ABA-Health Law Section
Title: Physicians Legal Issues Conference
Overview: On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). This legislation, along with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, is considered the most significant legislation since the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The new law promises to significantly transform the U.S. healthcare delivery system and culture of medicine. In addition to the Act, other forces are already reshaping medical practice. They include a changing physician workforce and shift from private practice to large group practice. This program will give participants a medical-legal overview of changes in the healthcare delivery system, their impact on the practice of medicine, and various strategies to meet these challenges.
