Emerging Issues in Challenging Times
The state of the economy has forced AAHC member institutions to consider, and in some cases implement, significant changes in their workforce and human resource strategies, raising numerous legal issues in the process. At the same time, policymakers have imposed significant new legal requirements in recent HITECH and FERA legislation. Attend the Legal Counsel Spring Meeting, April 22-23, 2010, and share your experiences navigating and managing these and other emerging legal issues and liability risks.
Registration for this meeting is now open and the agenda will follow shortly.
