Business Law and Governance, Hospitals and Health Systems, and In-House Counsel Practice Groups and the Enterprise Risk Management Task Force Joint Mid-Year Luncheon 

Description:

Hospitals and physicians worry about quality, but there is also a place for lawyers in quality initiatives. Lawyers must turn ideas into descriptions of what can be measured and into actual commitments. They must work with credentialing, privileging, and medical staff issues related to quality. They must turn quality initiatives into contracts and policies for hospitals, physicians, managed care organizations, accrediting organizations, and others. This luncheon presentaiton will explain:

• Current trends in developing actual quality metrics;
• What is being measured and how;
• Reporting metric data;
• Practicalities in translating quality issues into binding contracts.
