SUMMARY:Patient Consents and Authorizations: Compliance and Risk Management Strategies for Health Centers | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Health centers must carefully manage patient consents and authorizations to ensure compliance with federal and state laws while minimizing organizational risk. From HIPAA requirements to 42 C.F.R. Part 2 and state-specific rules\, navigating these overlapping frameworks can be complex. The rise of health information exchanges (HIEs) and interoperable electronic medical records (EMRs) has added another layer of complexity\, with many health centers facing confusion about when patient consent is required and how authorizations must be structured across different systems. Failure to obtain or document proper consent exposes health centers to compliance findings\, potential liability\, and challenges to patient trust. \nThis webinar will provide practical guidance on structuring\, documenting\, and implementing patient consents and authorizations that withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny. The session will highlight common pitfalls\, recent enforcement trends\, and strategies to strengthen policies and practices so that patient rights are protected\, and compliance risks are minimized. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the federal legal requirements governing patient consents and authorizations\, including HIPAA and 42 C.F.R. Part 2.\nIdentify compliance risks that arise from incomplete\, outdated\, or inconsistent consent processes.\nApply practical strategies to strengthen documentation\, workflows\, and staff training around patient consents and authorizations.\nIncorporate risk management considerations into policies and procedures to reduce liability exposure.\n\nAudience:\n\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nCEOs\nCFOs\nCOOs\nCMOs\nExecutive Leadership\nLegal Counsel\nQuality Improvement\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\nStaff responsible for patient documentation processes\n\nPresenter:\n\nMolly Evans\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:DEI and Nondiscrimination Laws: Navigating a Shifting Legal Landscape | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in case law and federal policy are reshaping how key nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers are being interpreted\, applied\, and enforced by agencies\, funders\, and regulatory authorities. These shifts have raised questions about the legality of long-standing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (“DEI”) policies and practices and may create tension with other programmatic\, contractual\, or state-level legal commitments. \nThis webinar will provide health centers with an overview of applicable nondiscrimination laws—including Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act\, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act\, the Age Discrimination Act\, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act —and explore how the legal environment is evolving. Because the legal and policy context is rapidly changing\, the program will incorporate the most up-to-date developments available at the time of the session\, giving participants practical guidance on how to approach DEI-related activities (such as targeted programs\, data collection\, and employment practices) in light of legal uncertainty and shifting norms. \n*DISCLAIMER: Content will be updated prior to the webinar to reflect the latest legal and policy changes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the core nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers and their scope of enforcement.\nUnderstand recent and emerging case law and federal policy developments that affect DEI-related policies and practices.\nEvaluate how DEI initiatives may create compliance risks or conflicts with other legal requirements.\nApply a risk-informed approach to deciding whether and how to continue DEI-related activities in a changing environment.\n\nAudience: \n\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nHR Professionals\nCEOs\nCFOs\nCOOs\nCMOs\nWorkforce Development Leaders\nExecutive Leadership\nLegal Counsel\nPolicy Staff\nProgram and operations leaders involved in planning or implementing DEI-related initiatives\n\nPresenter:\n\nMolly Evans\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Helping Patients Afford Medications Using the 340B Program and Other Tools | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Health centers manage the health of their patients\, including by prescribing drugs or helping patients fill prescriptions. Too often\, patients encounter affordability issues at the pharmacy counter\, whether because they are uninsured or have a high cost-sharing obligation. Though health centers might want to deploy resources to help their patients obtain their prescribed medication\, state and federal fraud and abuse laws including the antikickback statute and patient inducement civil monetary penalty can create risk for well-intentioned actions. In addition\, health centers are required to ensure that low-income patients who are uninsured or who have substantial cost-sharing obligations receive injectable epinephrine and insulin at discounted prices. \nThis session describes the challenges inherent in helping patients afford their medication and discusses strategies for complying with Notice of Award terms and assisting patients without triggering compliance risks. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify the potential risks of providing patients with financial assistance outside of a structured policy.\nCompare strategies for providing patient assistance.\nImplement an insulin/injectable epinephrine policy that complies with Notice of Award requirements.\n\nAudience:\n\nPharmacy Managers\nRisk Managers\nCompliance Officers\nCOOs\nCEOs\nCFOs\nExecutive Leadership\n\nPresenter:\n\nJason Reddish\n\n\nREGISTER NOW
