Quality of care poses unique challenges and opportunities for hospitals and health care providers. Foley Partner Janice A. Anderson and Associate Nathaniel M. Lacktman have been selected to present at the Quality Colloquium at Harvard University on August 19, 2008 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their poster board topic, titled “Legal Issues in Quality of Care: Payments, Public Reporting and Enforcement,” highlights the government’s three-pronged approach to drive quality of care:
- Quality-based payments and incentives
- Public reporting and data mining
- Quality of care government enforcement and whistleblower litigation
The Quality Colloquium is an executive education course on patient safety, healthcare quality enhancement and medical errors reduction for healthcare executives, clinicians, and patient care staff.
