Target Audience & Scope of Professional Practice

Description
Economic, political and regulatory forces, coupled with new innovations, continue to change the delivery and payment of healthcare. These changes have caused physician practices and community hospitals to consolidate and/or diversify, forming large “super” groups or health systems that are transforming the delivery of care 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. Technology and innovation in the healthcare industry also continues to change the way healthcare services are delivered and how data is used. 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.
This program brings together physicians, healthcare legal experts, government officials, insurer representatives, and others, who will provide the tools, educational materials, and strategies to improve patient care and healthcare delivery.
Sessions will cover key topics, including new payment models, compliance issues, enforcement trends, contracting, tips for managing transactions, telemedicine, cybersecurity, the implications of new technologies, payor and medical staff disputes, and workplace issues for physicians. Speakers will share practical, and viable improvement strategies to help you work more efficiently while restoring your sense of purpose.
