Increased Government Enforcement Against Individual Health Care Executives: Practical Recommendations to Reduce Potential Exposure
Description

In-House Counsel at health care providers and companies should be advising their senior executives regarding steps to take to reduce potential regulatory exposure of their companies, as well as processes to reduce potential individual exposure. Recent trends have demonstrated increasing government enforcement against health care executives individually, and federal officials and prosecutors recently have publicly confirmed this growing trend.

Topics:
* Overview of growing trend of government enforcement against individual health care executives
* Discussion of recent cases and recent public statements confirming government's focus on targeting individual health care executives
* Practical recommendations for processes to implement to reduce potential personal exposure of senior health care executives
* Sample policies and checklists/forms to tailor to your company to document actions and involvement of senior health care executives to protect them from individual liability
