Health Care Law — Regulatory Compliance

Increased demand, intense government scrutiny, industry consolidation, new technologies and litigation liability are among the challenges the health care industry faces today. This ever-changing climate makes it critical for health care providers to partner with skilled legal counsel like Aaronson Rappaport to successfully navigate the complexities of this dynamic, highly regulated $3 trillion industry sector.

Our nationally and regionally recognized health care attorneys have decades of experience providing hospitals, doctors and other health care providers with knowledgeable, responsive and cost-effective representation in strategic counseling, regulatory compliance and transactional matters, including:

• Strategic Risk Management: We assist hospitals in establishing and maintaining strategies to reduce medical errors and to enhance quality of care. We present educational seminars to instruct hospital staff on best practices to avoid errors and to maintain compliance with all legal regulations.
• State Regulatory Compliance: We work with hospitals and nursing staff to support their efforts to achieve compliance with the New York State Health Code. We also represent doctors and hospitals during New York State Department of Health investigations, including those by the Office of Health Systems Management (OHSM) and the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC).
• Federal Regulatory Counsel: We counsel hospitals on all federal and state regulatory matters, including compliance issues involving JCAHO, EMTALA, HIPAA and others.
