Program Description
The Hospitals Law Institute will provide a focused analysis of the legal challenges faced by hospitals and their counsel. The program will also include a joint plenary session with the Physicians program on Tuesday, February 6, which will focus on the Top Legal Developments for Hospitals and Physicians by Beth Schermer and Jack Schroder. Breakout sessions included on both programs include:
- JCAHO Accreditation: A Changing Landscape for Hospital Lawyers
- Quality of Care, Outcomes and Failure of Care
- Fraud, Abuse and False Claims Act Update: Recent Government Enforcement Focus
- Emerging Economic and Quality Liabilities
- Top 20 Provision You Should have in Your Medical Staff Bylaws
- Collaborating and Competing with Multi-Specialty Physician Groups
Attendees can register for just the Hospitals program or "add-on" the Physicians and Physician Organizations Law Institute and attend three days of programming (February 5-7) for a more comprehensive look at the intertwined and distinct legal issues facing two of the most important components of the healthcare community.
If you register for the Hospitals program only, you can attend sessions at the Physicians program on Tuesday, February 6, but you will not receive the written materials or CLE credit for those sessions. Take advantage of the opportunity to register for both the Physicians and the Hospitals programs and get three full days of quality education and the full set of written materials from both programs.
