The Annual Full Day Conference and 25th Anniversary Celebration will be held on Friday, June 11, 2010 at the Helmsley Hotel in Manhattan. We are pleased to provide a timely key note presentation by Tracy Miller, Esq. on the Family Health Care Decision Act.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:  FAMILY HEALTH CARE DECISIONS ACT

Tracy E. Miller, Esq.

 

Governor David Paterson signed into law on 3/16/10 The FHCDA.  This law covers treatment decisions to forgo life-sustaining measures for children and adults who lack the capacity to decide for themselves and have not signed an advance directive.  The FHCDA is the first New York law to mandate hospitals and nursing homes to establish or participate in an ethics committee, with a defined role in specific circumstances.  Under the act, the committees will provide advice upon request or in the event of disputes, to review certain sensitive decisions by surrogates, and carry out such other responsibilities as designated by the hospital or nursing home.

Healthcare Privacy and Information Security Challenges
Paul Paray, Esq. Lisa J. Sotto, Esq. and Mary J. Hildebrand, Esq.

 

The panel will focus on best practices on how to better protect sensitive data using new technologies and proactive privacy policies and discuss common regulatory, contractual, and compliance obligations facing healthcare providers in 2010.
