Case law Updates and National Patient Safety Initiatives – Feb. 7, 2024

Expert Presenter: Michael R. Callahan, JD, Senior Counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP

Program Summary: Healthcare organizations are coming under increasing pressure by states, the federal government, accrediting bodies and payors to more proactively identify adverse events and poor patient outcomes within their provider facilities. Once identified, the expectation, if not a requirement, is to investigate, analyze and take appropriate remedial steps to reduce future risks to patients and to improve the quality of patient care services. Failure to do so can and will have significant adverse financial, reputational and regulatory consequences.
