American Health Law Association (AHLA) Annual Meeting

Healthcare attorneys Henry Leventis and Shalyn Watkins will speak at the American Health Law Association's (AHLA) Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. The conference provides current information and in-depth analysis of issues facing healthcare clients and institutions, from notable legislative updates to new trends in deal-making to emerging regulatory compliance risks.

Ms. Watkins will join a discussion on managing vendor relationships, with a focus on data privacy and health information privacy compliance challenges. She will review lessons learned from high-profile data breaches involving healthcare vendors, including the economic impact of these incidents, explain new technologies vendors are utilizing to deliver services and provide practical strategies for due diligence to help ensure vendor contracts protect an organization. Her session will be repeated on the first and second days of the event.

Mr. Leventis will participate in a fireside chat on the regulatory and enterprise risks associated with incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) technology into hospitals and healthcare systems. He will identify where and how AI is being used in healthcare and billing and how authorities such as the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and state attorneys general view this trend. Speakers will additionally examine how AI tools, including generative AI, could affect future investigations.
