Introduction
December Grand Rounds: A YEAR-END REVIEW: Highlights from the 2023 Health Law Express – Lessons Learned!
December 5, 2023 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)
Once a week, all year long, HortySpringer publishes a free, electronic newsletter called the Health Law Express. We use our newsletter to inform our readers about new developments in the health law arena and, more particularly, those that have implications for the ways in which hospitals and physician leaders conduct their affairs. Hundreds of cases are highlighted throughout the year, on topics including EMTALA “failure to screen” claims, negligent credentialing, unlawful discrimination in employment, defamation through NPDB reports, and so much more!
Join attorneys Henry Casale and Rachel Remaley for a review of the year’s best cases. They will not only give you the highlights, but also discuss lessons to be gleaned from the year’s most significant holdings and, more importantly, what you should do in response.
