HEALTHCARE PROVIDER DISPUTES AND LITIGATION

Monday, July 30 to Wednesday, August 01, 2012

The Sutton Place Hotel, Chicago, IL

An alarming percentage of healthcare funding is spent on fraud, waste and abuse each year. As the rate of fraud increases, the out of pocket cost to patients without health insurance continue to skyrocket. Effective litigation strategies can help to contain your costs. ACI is pleased to present its Advanced Forum on Healthcare Provider Disputes and Litigation, taking place July 30 – August 1, 2012 in Chicago, and featuring trial attorneys and in-house counsel who have been active in some of the year’s biggest cases. No other forum provides the opportunity to share proactive litigation strategies and tactics to enhance your likelihood of success at trial.

In an era of increasing litigiousness, healthcare attorneys are struggling to answer questions surrounding: antitrust, billing fraud, individual accountability, and restrictive covenant arrangements. Leading provider-side litigators will help solve your biggest challenges, while facilitating much needed discussions with your industry peers. With the government taking a most scrupulous eye towards the activity of healthcare providers, hear directly from litigators at the forefront of the action, who will tell you where enforcement priorities are headed and how to diminish your risk of a lengthy and costly government investigation.

Overcome the Growing e-Discovery Burden Resulting From the Shift to Electronic Medical Records

Electronic data is the wave of the present and future with respect to patient medical records. With advances in technology comes greater risk for a data breach, and more onerous discovery production requirements. Rather than bury your head in the proverbial sand, let our faculty of e-Discovery experts assist in streamlining the process. You will learn how to protect against inadvertent and inappropriate disclosure of protected health information, while ensuring that you are disclosing necessary data to the government and to your opponent.
