Physicians Legal Issues: Healthcare Delivery & Innovation Conference (PLI) is a joint continuing legal education (CLE) and continuing medical education (CME) conference designed for physicians and attorneys who work in healthcare and closely aligned industries. Whether you’re just starting your career or have decades of experience, this conference will provide valuable insight and strategies to improve your practice.

Program Detail
Economic, judicial, 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, changing state laws, 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.

Sessions will cover critical topics, including new payment models, compliance issues, enforcement trends, contracting, tips for managing transactions, cybersecurity, the implications of new technologies, and workplace issues for physicians. Speakers will share practical and effective improvement techniques to help you work more efficiently while restoring your sense of purpose.
