SUMMARY:Caring for Health Center Patients in Complex Legal Environments | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Health centers are often called on to provide services that are central to their mission while navigating a complex and rapidly changing legal and policy environment. Two areas that raise significant compliance considerations are providing gender affirming care and serving undocumented immigrants. These services require careful alignment with federal grant requirements\, state laws\, and evolving priorities of the Administration. \nThis webinar will help health centers understand how to deliver these services while maintaining compliance and organizational integrity. Speakers will review federal expectations\, common challenges\, and practical strategies for adapting to a shifting regulatory environment while staying aligned with the priorities of the Administration. \n*DISCLAIMER: Content will be updated prior to the webinar to reflect the latest legal and policy changes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how gender affirming care and services for undocumented immigrants intersect with federal grant requirements and state law.\nIdentify areas of heightened compliance risk and administrative focus in 2026.\nApply strategies to align policies and procedures with federal grant terms and priorities of the Administration.\nStrengthen compliance frameworks to support service delivery in a rapidly changing environment.\n\nAudience: \n\nCEOs\nCFOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nExecutive Leadership\nProgram Officers\n\nPresenters\n\nMolly Evans\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Risk Assessments: Health Center Requirements and Recommendations | Workshop Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Health centers operate under a complex set risk assessment requirements and recommendations\, including: \n\nFTCA requirements to conduct quarterly risk assessments\nHIPAA Security Rule requirements to conduct regular security risk analyses; and\nThe Office of the Inspector General (OIG) expectations to conduct regular compliance risk assessments to identify fraud\, waste\, and abuse.\n\nThis workshop is designed to help health centers understand what’s required\, what’s recommended and how to implement a meaningful risk assessment process. In this workshop\, attendees will learn: \n\nCompliance risk assessment essentials: Including how to meaningfully involve senior leadership\, design risk assessment document reviews and interview questions\, assign risk levels and understand your health center’s risk tolerance\nRisk assessment requirements: Identify current risk assessment requirements for health centers\, including how to address common deficiencies identified by the FTCA Division of HRSA in the 2026 FTCA deeming applications and by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in recent enforcement actions\nRisk assessment recommendations: Develop a compliance risk assessment process that reflects and prioritizes recommended risk assessment areas based on your health center’s top risk areas\n\nThis workshop will cover the requirements and provide practical strategies and tools for collecting and analyzing information about your health center’s compliance risks. \nAudience:\n\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\nAgenda Day 1:\n\nRisk assessments as an element of your Compliance Program: A formal compliance risk assessment helps identify\, evaluate\, and prioritize potential compliance risks. It forms the foundation of your compliance program—guiding how to focus your health center’s effort\, time\, and money. We’ll discuss the OIG’s expectation that health care providers conduct compliance risk assessments at least annually\, that the Staff Compliance Committee be responsible for conducting and implementing compliance risk assessments\, and that the Compliance Program itself be part of the compliance risk assessment.\nRisk assessment models and approaches: In this section\, we’ll discuss a range of models and approaches for conducting risk assessments in health centers—from qualitative heat maps to quantitative scoring and hybrid frameworks. We’ll discuss the key factors that should guide the selection of a model suited to your organization’s size\, structure\, and risk profile\, and review practical examples showing how different methods identify and prioritize compliance risks. Participants will gain actionable insights and practical tools to design a structured\, repeatable process that enhances oversight and supports continuous compliance improvement.\n\nPresenters:\n\nDianne Pledgie\nMolly Evans\nAlexander Lipovtsev\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Patient Access to Medical Records: Who\, What and When
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 1 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nFollowing an enforcement initiative that has resulted in over 50 enforcement actions involving covered entities and business associates\, the patient right of access under the HIPAA Privacy Rule is again in the spotlight. \nIn December 2025\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced an investigation into a complaint involving vaccination of a student without parental consent. In connection with that announcement\, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a Dear Colleague letter reminding HIPAA-regulated entities of their obligation to provide timely access\, including when a parent requests access to their minor child’s record (unless an exception applies). HRSA announced a new grant requirement related to parental consent that began appearing in January 2026. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify patient access rights under federal law\, including the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the Information Blocking Rule\nExplain when a health care provider must provide access to a patient and when they have discretion to deny or limit access\nClarify how state and federal laws affect whether parents have access to the records of minor patients\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Privacy in Practice: NPP Updates to Protect Your Health Center
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 2 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nShow your Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) some love with this timely review of the HIPAA requirements and recommendations to protect your health center from patient complaints and OCR investigations. \nThe HIPAA Privacy Rule requires the NPP to describe how health centers use and disclose patient health information and how patients may exercise their rights to that information. With a compliance date of February 16\, 2026\, the revised 42 CFR Part 2 regulations require updates to the NPP to explain how substance use disorder (SUD) records protected by Part 2 are used and disclosed. Beyond regulatory compliance\, the NPP is also a valuable tool for proactively communicating with patients about data sharing with health information exchanges\, parental access to minors’ records\, and applicable state law requirements. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify the required elements of the NPP\nOutline best practices for incorporating 42 CFR Part 2 notice requirements into the NPP\nExplain strategic revisions and additions to the NPP that clearly define patient expectations regarding data disclosures and access to records under federal and state law\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Post-Breach Break-Ups: Is it Time to End a Business Associate Relationship?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is Part 3 of 4 in the “I Heart HIPAA” webinar series.\nWhether it’s a vendor engaged by your electronic medical record (EMR) provider\, a pharmacy third-party administrator (TPA)\, or a local consultant providing coding support\, business associates frequently report breaches to covered entities. Some reports include tight timelines requiring the business associate to make breach notifications on behalf of the covered entity. Others arrive with limited information or incomplete data\, complicating the covered entity’s ability to meet its notification obligations. \nOnce the breach notification process concludes\, covered entities are often left with difficult questions: Should the relationship continue? What steps can be taken to reduce future risk and better protect the organization? \nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify the breach notification requirements for covered entities and their business associates under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule\nProvide a practical framework for evaluating a business associate’s breach response and determining whether to continue the relationship\nDescribe contractual provisions health centers can incorporate into business associate agreements (BAAs) to mitigate financial and legal risk following a business associate breach\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenter:\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Amending Patient Records: Patient Rights and Health Center Responses | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With patients gaining greater access to their records through patient portals\, it is essential for health centers to maintain accurate\, up-to-date information and to have clear policies for responding to patient requests to amend their records. Accurate and complete patient records are critical for high-quality care\, legal compliance\, and regulatory reporting. Whether patients request updates to correct a typo or to remove references to certain identifiers or types of care\, having a clear policy ensures timely\, consistent responses and may reduce the likelihood of a patient filing a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). \nThis webinar will guide health centers through the process of responding to patient requests to amend records\, covering when and how corrections can be made\, documentation requirements\, and compliance considerations under HIPAA. Participants will gain practical strategies to maintain record integrity while meeting patient rights and regulatory expectations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDevelop a procedure for reviewing and responding to patient requests for an amendment within the timeframe(s) required under the HIPAA Privacy Rule\nIdentify when a patient request to amend their record can be denied and the related documentation requirements\nDiscuss strategies for amending records shared through health information exchanges\n\nAudience: \n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\nPresenters\n\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

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\nPresenters:\n\nMolly Evans\nDianne Pledgie\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 2 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Name the Threat: Understanding Workplace Violence at Community Health Centers | Tuesday\, July 14 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nWorkplace violence is not just one thing. This session builds the foundational knowledge before any skills training can be effective. Participants will explore the types of workplace violence\, from verbal aggression and patient-generated threats to targeted personal relationship violence and active assailant events. Using OSHA’s four-type classification framework as a shared language\, the session examines the unique risk factors that make community health centers vulnerable. The session closes with a look at the regulatory landscape for FQHCs\, including what 42 CFR Part 491 actually requires\, where the compliance gaps are\, and why no existing framework currently mandates planning for the type of violence CHCs may face. Participants will leave with the conceptual foundation to get the most out of Session 2. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUse OSHA’s four-type framework to identify and classify workplace violence at your health center\nIdentify the risk factors that make community health centers uniquely vulnerable\nKnow what 42 CFR Part 491 actually requires and where your current policies may fall short\n\n\nSession 2: Three Threats\, Three Responses | Thursday\, July 16 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nKnowing the threat is only half the work. This session is about what you do next. Building directly on Session 1\, this session addresses the three workplace violence scenarios most relevant to community health centers: de-escalation\, active assailant\, and personal relationship violence. Participants leave with a clear understanding of each threat type\, the protocols that may apply\, and the decision-making framework to distinguish between them. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDistinguish between workplace violence scenarios that call for de-escalation and those in which de-escalation is contraindicated\nDescribe the Run/Hide/Fight framework and explain how it applies to a community health center\nUnderstand what a Type IV workplace safety protocol needs to accomplish and what elements your health center’s version should include\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\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

DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 3 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Managing Difficult Patient Encounters: Strategies for Health Center Staff and Providers | Tuesday\, July 21 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nCommunity health centers serve patients with complex medical\, behavioral\, and social needs\, and difficult patient encounters are an inevitable part of that mission. This webinar provides health center staff and providers with practical guidance on managing challenging patient relationships over time\, addressing what happens after the immediate encounter and focusing on the ongoing clinical\, legal\, and administrative strategies available when a patient’s behavior presents recurring challenges. For those who have attended our Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff webinars on de-escalation and workplace violence prevention\, this session builds directly on that foundation and provides the next layer of guidance. For those joining us for the first time\, no prior training is required\, and the session is designed to stand fully on its own. Attendees will leave with concrete tools they can apply immediately in clinical and administrative settings. \nLearning Objectives\n\nKnow when de-escalation is enough and when a situation calls for a longer-term clinical or administrative response.\nUnderstand the legal guardrails (e.g.\, ADA\, Section 504\, HRSA requirements) that shape how health centers can and can’t manage difficult patients.\nDocument difficult patient interactions in a way that protects staff and holds up if things escalate.\n\n\nSession 2: Terminating the Patient Relationship: Legal Requirements\, Policy Considerations\, and Risk Management for Health Centers | Thursday\, July 23 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nWhen ongoing management strategies have been exhausted\, health centers must understand how to end a patient relationship lawfully and defensibly. This webinar is the second in a two-part package on managing difficult patient relationships and is designed to be taken together with our companion webinar on managing difficult patient encounters. Attendees of both sessions will gain a complete framework moving from immediate and ongoing management strategies through the formal termination process. For those who have also participated in our Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff webinars on de-escalation and workplace violence prevention\, this package builds directly on that foundation. For those joining us for the first time\, no prior training outside of the two-part package is required\, and this session is designed to stand fully on its own within that pairing. Attendees will gain the knowledge needed to evaluate existing policies\, draft compliant termination notices\, and make sound decisions when the patient relationship can no longer continue. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand when termination is the right next step\, and when it isn’t\nKnow the difference between immediate discharge and formal termination\, and how to apply that distinction to real situations at your health center\nDraft or evaluate a termination policy and notice letter that protects your health center\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

From vendor and professional services agreements to hospital affiliations\, contracted services arrangements\, and referral agreements\, HRSA expects health centers to maintain agreements that clearly reflect applicable program requirements and support appropriate oversight of the health center project. This webinar will examine the federal requirements applicable to health center agreements\, with a particular focus on contracts for in-scope services reflected on Form 5A\, Column II\, and referral arrangements reflected on Form 5A\, Column III. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the key contractual provisions and documentation expectations that health centers must address to demonstrate compliance with HRSA requirements. \nThe webinar will review contracting requirements set forth in HRSA’s Health Center Program Compliance Manual\, including requirements related to record retention\, monitoring\, and access to records. In addition\, presenters will address the federal procurement standards under 2 C.F.R. Part 200\, including practical considerations related to procurement processes and competition requirements. \nThrough practical examples and sample contract provisions\, attendees will learn strategies for strengthening health center contracting processes and aligning agreements with Health Center Program requirements. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify the contractual requirements applicable to agreements that support the Health Center Program\, including contracts and referral arrangements for in-scope services\nUnderstand the federal procurement standards under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 and their application to health center contracting activities\nEvaluate practical strategies for structuring\, reviewing\, and maintaining agreements to support compliance during HRSA oversight and Operational Site Visits\n\n\nSession 2: Negotiating and Managing Health Center Contracts: Legal Terms\, Risk Allocation\, and Ongoing Contract Oversight | Thursday\, July 30 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nSigning a contract is not the end of the process; it is the beginning of an ongoing obligation that requires active management and periodic review. This webinar builds on the foundational principles introduced in the first session and focuses on the practical skills health center leaders and staff need to negotiate favorable contract terms\, identify and push back on provisions that create unacceptable legal or financial risk\, and manage contracts effectively throughout their lifecycle. Special attention is given to provisions that arise frequently in health center contracting and that carry heightened significance in the context of federal program compliance\, nonprofit governance\, and the health center’s mission. \nLearning Objectives\n\nSpot the contract terms that matter most (i.e.\, indemnification\, insurance\, termination\, data security)\, and understand what they mean for your health center’s risk\nKnow which terms are worth pushing back on\, how to ask for changes without derailing a deal\, and when to call your attorney\nBuild or improve a contract management system that keeps your health center organized\, compliant\, and ahead of renewals\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence (AI): Compliance Considerations for Health Centers | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 5 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Understanding AI in the Health Center Environment: Applications\, Privacy\, and Security Risks | Tuesday\, August 4 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nArtificial intelligence tools are entering health center operations at a rapid pace\, from clinical decision support and ambient documentation technology to administrative automation\, patient communication platforms\, and revenue cycle management. Many health centers are already using AI-enabled tools without a full understanding of the legal\, regulatory\, and operational risks those tools carry. This webinar provides health center leaders\, compliance officers\, and clinical staff with a grounded introduction to how AI is being used in health center settings\, what data privacy and security obligations apply when AI tools interact with protected health information\, and what steps health centers should take to evaluate and govern AI tools before and after adoption. Particular attention is given to the intersection of AI use with HIPAA\, 42 C.F.R. Part 2 (for health centers with substance use disorder programs)\, and emerging federal and state regulatory frameworks governing AI in health care. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of the privacy and security landscape and a framework for assessing AI tools before deployment. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain the federal laws and regulations that apply to AI tools that involve protected health information\nIdentify how state laws are impacting the use of AI tools in health care\nDevelop a framework for evaluating AI tools prior to adoption\, including key contract considerations for AI vendors\n\n\nSession 2: AI\, Malpractice\, and Legal Liability at Health Centers: Navigating Risk in a Rapidly Changing Landscape | Thursday\, August 6 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nAs health centers integrate artificial intelligence into clinical workflows\, a new and still-evolving set of legal liability questions follows close behind\, including: \n\nWhen an AI-assisted clinical decision contributes to a patient harm\, who is responsible?\nHow does the Federal Tort Claims Act deeming program interact with AI-related malpractice claims?\nWhat governance and documentation obligations should health center boards and leadership understand as AI becomes embedded in care delivery?\n\nThis webinar will address the malpractice\, corporate liability\, and governance risks that AI adoption creates for health centers. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the current liability landscape\, the limitations of existing legal frameworks in addressing AI-specific risks\, and the practical steps health centers can take now to reduce exposure while the law continues to develop. \nLearning Objectives\n\nAnalyze the malpractice liability risks related to the use of AI tools in clinical settings.\nIdentify additional legal and regulatory risks associated with AI adoption at health centers\nDescribe the board and leadership responsibilities related to AI adoption\, including the role of compliance programs and policies in managing AI risk\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\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. HRSA has also announced that the 340B discount for some commonly-prescribed drugs will only be available as a rebate in 2027\, further complicating health centers’ ability to provide point-of-sale discounts to patients. \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\, including under the rebate model that will begin in 2027.\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
