Description
The federal government continues efforts to curb fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry, and shareholders of publicly traded healthcare companies have become more active. As a result, the oversight role of healthcare boards is under heightened scrutiny on all fronts.
Counsel to directors and trustees of healthcare facilities must evaluate and advise adjustments to governance practices to minimize vulnerabilities and anticipate future risks. Failure to exercise adequate oversight may result in government enforcement, shareholder litigation and negative publicity.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the impact of heightened government and shareholder scrutiny on healthcare board governance and offers compliance strategies for counsel to healthcare boards to minimize legal liability.
