The American Health Lawyers Association is pleased to once 

again offer the Physicians and Physician Organizations Law 

Institute and the Hospitals and Health Systems Law Institute. 

These programs provide in-house and outside counsel 

with the latest information needed to advise clients in these 

two segments of the healthcare industry. The programs have 

been scheduled so that you can attend either the Physicians 

program or the Hospitals program, if your practice focuses on 

a particular provider, or you can register for both programs 

for a more comprehensive curriculum that will prepare you 

to address legal issues facing both segments and gain a better 

understanding of their distinct legal challenges. 

This brochure includes the agenda for each program as well as 

a grid on pages 15-18, which shows the full 3-days of programming 

with an indication of which sessions are on each 

program. In addition to the educational sessions, there are a 

number of networking opportunities including breakfasts held 

each day, receptions on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and 

Practice Group luncheons held each day. 

This year’s programs take place in Phoenix at the beautiful JW 

Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa. We look forward to seeing 

you in February!

Antitrust 

Review of Antitrust Enforcement of Hospital-Physician 

Transactions 

David A. Argue, PhD 

Economists Incorporated, Washington, DC 

Douglas C. Ross, Esq. 

Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, Seattle, WA 

Christine L. White, Esq. 

Federal Trade Commission, New York, NY 

Physician practice consolidations have been the subject of increased 

federal and state scrutiny, as well as at least one recently 

filed private antitrust action. Several transactions have been 

blocked by antitrust enforcers, and some parties have entered into 

consent agreements to resolve antitrust concerns. The private case 

is currently in litigation. Drawing on these cases, our panelists 

will identify factors that may impact the risk of antitrust scrutiny 

(including both antitrust red flags and procompetitive justifications 

for a transaction) as well as potential means of minimizing or 

resolving those concerns. 

The panelists will provide specific examples and illustrations based 

on actions such as: 

j Federal enforcement actions: Renown Health’s acquisition of 

Sierra Nevada Cardiology Associates and Reno Heart Physicians; 

and Providence Health System’s proposed acquisition of 

Northwest Cardiology and Spokane Cardiology) 

j State enforcement actions: Urology of Central Pennsylvania; 

MaineHealth; and Atrius Health/Fallon Clinic 

j Private actions: St. Luke’s Health System’s proposed acquisition 

of Saltzer Medical Group

Reform for Health Care Organizations 

Kristen A. Harris, Esq. 

Rubman & Harris LLC, Chicago, IL 

Gregory Siskind, Esq.

healthcare industry. The presenters will review changes to healthcare 

organizations as visa sponsors for healthcare professionals and 

as employers subject to immigration compliance measures (I-9s, E- 

Verify, and new enforcement initiatives). The presentation will also 

analyze the eligibility of immigrants for various healthcare benefits, 

and will review healthcare immigration implications resulting from 

other new legislative measures, such as the Affordable Care Act 

and budget negotiations. 


Medical Staff, Credentialing, and Peer Review, 

sponsored by MDReview 

Implementing “Systemness” into Health System Consolidation 

Amy L. Marquardt, Esq. 

Vice President and General Counsel Hospitals 

Sisters Health System, Clear Lake, IL 

Increased hospital and health system consolidation has emphasized 

the varied challenges of unifying medical staff cultures and 

the ever-growing web of system-wide services lines and hospital 

credentialing, privileging and quality activities. Many of these 

activities are becoming more centralized as health systems search 

for greater standardization, efficiency and cost reduction. This luncheon 

presentation will use hands-on experience from an in-house 

perspective to discuss the many challenges, opportunities and lessons 

learned when integrating services lines and multiple medical 

staffs into a health system, including: 

j Considerations and lessons learned when merging medical staff 

governance and leadership perspectives 

j Making system-wide service lines work 

j The relationship between health system activities and traditional 

medical staff roles, qualifications and standards 

j Considering state peer review laws when centralizing service 

line, credentialing, privileging and peer review activities

safety is an un-comprisable core value of your operations. This

University Hospitals Health System

Hospital and health system counsel often face many technical and 

operational issues with HIPAA Security rule compliance, including 

meeting the risk assessment and compliance documentation 

standards under the rule. Establishing and documenting a risk 

assessment and correcting any deficiencies is now required as a 

core objective under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive 

Program, and hospitals and eligible professionals must attest to this 

objective. Join our Health Information and Technology panel to get 

an overview of the relevant security standards, the technical and 

operational issues involved in conducting a security risk assessment, 

and an in-house perspective on operational issues, including 

setting expectations when working with IT professionals and 

consultants and establishing compliance documentation.
