Overview
  
The dust is settling from the recent issuance of CMS, OIG, FTC-DOJ & IRS NRPM and guidance. After detailed technical analysis of the proposed regulations is completed, with consideration of how the specific provisions apply to an organization, the critical next step is to identify, and evaluate and act on the array of key strategic implications going forward, as they apply to the development and operations of existing and potential Accountable Care Organizations.

This strategic session will not only address the various important implications for stakeholders resulting from the new regulations, but also take into consideration the larger macroenvironment marketplace issues, including beyond the Medicare Shared Savings Program, that will impact stakeholders in this arena.

Please join national experts Brad Benton from KPMG, Steven Hester, MD from Norton Healthcare and Douglas Hastings from EpsteinBeckerGreen as they provide detailed critical observations, insights and potential strategic recommendations from three different perspectives that will combine to offer organizations the strategic intelligence they require to position themselves in this arena going forward.
