Understanding the Rules of Play for Telemedicine

Virtual care is no longer a nice to have, but a necessity. Come join healthcare legal guru, Nan Gallagher, as she conveys how to engage in telehealth services so as best to minimize risk, administrative scrutiny, and payer woes, while maximizing your practice’s revenue and overall worth to patients.

How Exactly Do We Mitigate Workplace Violence in Practice Settings?

All professional healthcare facilities today need to foster a culture of non-tolerance for violence. In this seminar, behavioral health specialist Monica Cooke shares important risk-mitigation strategies, including tips for identifying, de-escalating and objectively documenting aggressive behavior. You’ll also learn the benefits of patient-provider agreements and standardized responses to aggression for improving patient compliance and enhancing safety for the practice’s staff and patients alike.
