This briefing will feature a panel of health care regulatory and defense attorneys to discuss steps that health care facilities should take in the event of a government inquiry or investigation. It will focus on the necessary elements of effective internal investigations and appropriate responses to government requests, among other topics. Attendees will be presented with a hypothetical fact pattern similar to a situation that may confront health care providers before, during, and after a government investigation. David E. Matyas and Beth Essig of Epstein Becker & Green, and Amy E. Millard and Thomas C. Rotko of Clayman & Rosenberg will respond to the hypothetical situation in a panel format and will seek comments and questions from the audience. GNYHA members are encouraged to raise issues for inclusion in the fact pattern in advance of the briefing. Please e-mail your suggestions to Deborah Brown (brown@gnyha.org) at GNYHA.
