ACA-Driven Litigation - 1-1/2 units - On Demand

ACA-Driven Litigation: Cases to Watch (and What’s Next)   

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Manatt Health Solutions

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law.  Since its inception, scores of cases have been filed challenging various aspects of the law.  The ACA’s birth control coverage benefits alone have spawned more than 100 cases filed in federal court.

Which areas of the ACA are driving the surge in litigation?  What are the implications of decisions already handed-down – and what are the potentially game-changing cases to watch in 2016?  Manatt examines ACA implementation and the lawsuits that it’s driving in a new program, “ACA Litigation: Cases to Watch (and What’s Next.)”

The program begins with a detailed look at the ACA today, as the American health care system continues its transformational journey.  It will explore the status and implications of key facets of the law, from the emergence of Exchanges to the expansion of Medicaid to the complexities of the employer mandate.  Then it will examine the legal challenges underway, providing insights on current rulings, pending cases and the anticipated impact on U.S. health care.

5 Things to Know About Managed Review - On Demand

5 Things Every Legal Pro Should Know About Managed Review 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and FTI Technology

Managed review has emerged as a popular eDiscovery option for corporations and law firms. Managed review offerings are handled by a single provider, under one contract, and can cover all EDRM steps from identification through production.  In other instances, some but not all portions of the process are bundles.  The key characteristics of these offerings is that review capability is combined with technology products and services such as data processing, hosting, and productions or exports.

When utilized correctly, managed review can generate numerous benefits to reduce the cost and frustration of eDiscovery and document review by giving a service provider an incentive to reduce cost and to control enough steps in the process to eliminate inefficiencies.

This program will cover the top five issues that legal professionals should consider when evaluating their own eDiscovery process.

Educational Objectives:


• Understand the importance of global data privacy laws in the e-discovery process
• Learn how regulatory responses – FCPA investigations or HSR “Second Requests” – require  different managed review processes
• Understand the role that technology plays in reducing costs with managed review, specifically analytics and predictive coding
• Key questions to ask your managed review team to ensure collaboration with the law firm, reducing redundant work and sharing important data in real-time
• How to gauge the quality of review attorneys


Speakers:


Ms. Keira Campbell’s Jones Day practice is devoted to antitrust and competition law.  She represents clients in mergers and investigations before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Divisions, and state attorneys general.  

Ms. Kathryn L. Hardie is a senior managing director in the FTI Technology practice, and is based in Washington, DC. With over 21 years of experience in litigation support, electronic discovery and channel management, Ms. Hardie specializes in technical solutions to both law firms and corporations.

Using Social Media in Health Care - 1-1/2 units - On Demand

Best Practices for Using Social Media in Health Care: Maximizing Impact, Mitigating Risk 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP

In a generation more likely to go online to seek health information than see a doctor, social media is playing an increasingly critical role in health care decisions.  Today more than 40 percent of consumers say that the information they read on social media affects how they deal with their health (Source: Mediabistro). But social media’s impact on health care is not limited to the general public.  Two-thirds of doctors use social media for professional purposes (Source: EMR Thoughts)—and 60 percent believe it improves the quality of care they deliver to patients (Source: Demi & Cooper Advertising and DC Interactive Group).

With statistics like these, it’s not surprising that an increasing number of health care entities are incorporating social media into their communications plans. But how can you most effectively harness the power of social media to reach and influence your target audiences?  And how can you be sure you minimize the risks that often accompany an active social media presence?

The faculty presenting this program will answer those crucial questions. First, they will present emerging approaches for using social media to inform and engage both patients and professionals. We will share the most powerful techniques both within health care and from other sectors that have optimized social media as a tool for mobilizing, motivating and involving their targets. Then, the program will take a close-up look at the execution risks—both general and those specific to health care—and provide clear, actionable strategies for protecting your organization. We will examine the full gamut of issues—from  ensuring privacy to avoiding liability to meeting regulatory requirements—and explain how to run a high-impact social media campaign without putting your organization in legal jeopardy.

Consequences of Amending the Federal Rules - 1-1/2 units - On Demand

Amending the Federal Rules - Intended and Unintended Consequences 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Zylab

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended as of December 1, 2015.  These Amendments were intended to, among other things, clarify the scope of discovery, emphasize cooperation and proportionality in discovery, and establish a uniform approach to remedies for the loss of electronically stored information (“ESI”).

The Amendments are of the utmost importance to anyone who practices in the federal courts.  The intent of the Amendments as described above will affect the litigation strategy of every attorney and will require attorneys to “stop and think” when they serve or respond to discovery requests or engage in discovery disputes.  Likewise, a uniform approach to remedies for the loss of ESI should bring predictability for attorneys who have a multistate practice.

The Amendments are expected to reduce the cost and delay associated with litigation in the United States courts.  This should assist parties – individuals, business entities, and government agencies – in deciding whether to litigate and in understanding and monitoring litigation related costs and delays.

Educational Objectives:


• Recognize the proper scope of discovery under the Amendments
• Appreciate how the Amendments should promote cooperation between parties and proportionality in discovery
• Understand the “new” approach to sanctions or remedial measures when ESI is lost
• Demonstrate that the Amendments may have consequences that go beyond those that are intended

Partial List of Speakers:


Mr. Ronald J. Hedges served as a United States Magistrate Judge in the District of New Jersey from 1986 to 2007.  He is the chair of the Advisory Board of Digital Discovery & e-Evidence, a Bloomberg BNA publication.

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and NAVEX Global

While most companies are focusing on preventing external cybersecurity attacks, they often ignore one of the biggest cybersecurity risks: their own employees.  Studies have shown that unintentional employee behavior can create major vulnerabilities within companies, leaving them open to cybersecurity attacks.  However, companies tend to fall short in effectively training their employees on cybersecurity issues and awareness.

Educational Objectives:


Program participants will learn:
• Examples of the types of threats that can come from employee behavior;
• How to develop bring-your-own-device (BYOD), social media, and secure data access policies;
• Strategies for developing and implementing an effective cybersecurity training program for employees to raise awareness
