The One-Day Compliance Workshop That Could Help Save Your Lab Millions
KEENE, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–G2 Intelligence, a 30+ year leader in research, reporting, and analysis on the business of the diagnostic lab industry — including extensive coverage of the hospital laboratory marketplace through live events, periodicals, and proprietary research — announced today that they will hold a convenient one-day workshop at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza Washington DC, Thursday, May 22, 2014: New Compliance Red Flags for Labs: How to Minimize Legal Risks in an Evolving Market.
“No lab can afford to pay millions of dollars due to careless mistakes or inadvertent noncompliance with laws,” says Kimberly Scott, G2’s Managing Editor and workshop program chair. “Unfortunately, far too many labs find themselves in this position. This workshop is designed to help labs pinpoint where it may be most vulnerable, while sharing strategies for staying out of trouble.”
The insightful program promises something for everyone — from large laboratories with robust compliance programs and legal counsel, to small and mid-size labs or pathology groups navigating the murky compliance waters alone.
In just one day, attendees will:
- Get insight into the current enforcement climate in health care
- Assess the threat to the industry from aggressive federal and state agencies and contractors
- Understand risks to labs as they seek to join shared savings arrangements
- Learn strategies for minimizing legal risk in releasing completed test reports directly to patients
- Find out what is and is not allowed when it comes to offering discounts in test pricing
- Assess the potential fraud and abuse exposures associated with lab sales and marketing
