This Wednesday, May 3, the North Carolina Bar Association Health Law Section will be partnering with the North Carolina Bar Foundation and the Lupus Foundation of America, North Carolina Chapter, to host a Wills for Heroes event.
Wills for Heroes is a free legal clinic offered by the North Carolina Bar Foundation in which volunteer attorneys draft simple wills, health care powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, and advance directives for first responders and their families, free of charge.
This particular Wills for Heroes event will take place virtually, between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on May 3, and will benefit Lupus survivors and their spouses from the Charlotte and Raleigh areas.
Join us Friday, April 21, for the NCBA Health Law Section’s Annual CLE Program in Cary, including sessions on the Dobbs abortion decision, alternative payment models, a keynote session on NC Medicaid (all covered in previous blog posts), plus three more timely presentations, which include Healthcare Licensure, Private Equity/Business of Healthcare, and Ethics.
Healthcare Licensure
“Staying Above Board: Tips for Navigating Licensure Storms” will be a panel discussion by counsel with decades of combined experience representing the North Carolina Medical Board, State Board of Dental Examiners, and Board of Pharmacy: Crystal Carlisle (The Brocker Law Firm PA), Marcus B. Jimison (North Carolina Medical Board), Clinton R. Pinyan (Brooks Pierce McLendon Humphrey & Leonard LLP) and James A. Wilson (Ward and Smith PA).

The last few years have seen dramatic changes in the field of health care. The NCBA Health Law Section’s Annual CLE Program on April 21 will include a session addressing the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic abortion decision. The session is titled “The Impact of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Health Care Providers” by Joan Anderson of McGuire Woods. This timely session will explore liability and policy considerations for individual health care providers, hospital and health systems; and explore trends and legal developments in state legislative actions as a result of Dobbs. Additionally, this session will discuss considerations for providers and health care organizations in developing and implementing clinical policies and procedures to ensure appropriate medical care is given to patients — including local patients and those who have traveled from other states to seek care.
Another timely, North Carolina-focused session will be “Alternative Payment Models: The View From North Carolina” by Barry Herrin (Herrin Health Law), Erin Roberts (Roberts Law Office) and Steve Pine (K&L Gates). This session will delve into different types of alternative payment models (APMs) available to North Carolina providers, case studies of differing opportunities in value-based care, as well as state law issues confronting the design and operation of APMs in North Carolina. The panel will also discuss trends in the value-based and APM environment, and the evolution of payor-provider relationships.

The last few years have seen dramatic changes in health care. As change happens, it is always important to keep privacy and security in mind. The NCBA Health Law Section’s Annual CLE Program will include a session involving “Privacy and Data Compliance Challenges From All Angles: Practical Tips to Manage Risk.” From the HIPAA proposed rulemaking and OCR’s continued right of access enforcement, to the FTC’s renewed focus on health care app developers, ONC’s information blocking rules, and countless ransomware attacks, the health care industry is faced with compliance challenges across all aspects of operations. The rapid expansion of telehealth services throughout the pandemic and continued innovation across the health-tech sector provide essential benefits to patients and consumers but also add to the complexities of data privacy and cybersecurity risk. This session will address practical ways to manage risk without stifling creative advancements in health care models.
