Program Detail

Economic, political, and regulatory forces, coupled with technological innovation, continue to challenge and change the delivery and payment of healthcare. These changes have caused physician practices and community hospitals to consolidate or diversify, forming large “super” groups or health systems that transform care delivery through clinical integration. Additionally, new government payment models, the push by private insurers to share risk, and other market conditions continue to shift physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers away from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement into value-based payment models. Finally, other forces affect healthcare delivery, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and additional real-world factors. The net result is that physicians and other healthcare providers must navigate an evolving landscape of emerging legal risks and challenges to their business models.
