Frank T Walsh Jr., Acting Medicaid Inspector General of the State of New York, and David N. Hoffman, health-care attorney and bioethics professor, will explore the role of hospital compliance programs in ensuring that all patients receive quality care that is responsive to their particular needs.
Their discussion will delve into the newest changes to the New York State Social Services law (521.1), which redefine the scope of hospitals’ responsibility to ensure that patients get the care they need, and only the care they need, in a way that acknowledges the unique medical circumstances of all New Yorkers.
They will probe the interactions between provider organizations’ duty to assess medical necessity and care quality, and the obligation of all clinicians to provide culturally sensitive care to all patient populations consistent with the clinicians’ standard-of-care obligations.
Speaker:
Frank T Walsh, Jr., Acting Medicaid Inspector General of the State of New York
