American healthcare is in constant flux. To stay abreast of the latest information, federal and state governmental attorneys, in-house counsel, private practitioners, and healthcare leaders assembled at the American Bar Association’s 16th Annual Washington Health Law Summit. The Summit is as well-known for its outstanding programming as it is for the unique opportunity it offers attendees to interact, network, and learn from each other.
Shannon Sumner, managing principal of PYA’s Compliance Advisory Services and Firm Compliance Officer, was among the featured presenters. She co-presented with David W. Ogden, former Deputy Attorney General of the United States and current partner and chair of WilmerHale’s Government and Regulatory Litigation Practice Group. They discussed “The Role of Compliance in Government Enforcement” in this session, and explored:
- Recent governmental enforcement activity, including the evolution of settlement agreements (Corporate Integrity Agreements [CIA], Deferred-Prosecution Agreements [DPA]), which afford a perspective on Office of Inspector General and Department of Justice priorities for healthcare compliance program structure and content.
- The importance of having an effective compliance program in place to mitigate the impacts that can result in a mandated CIA or DPA.
- Examples of leading practice compliance programs for use in providing counsel and advice to health system stakeholders.
