In this advanced webinar, you will learn the general steps a state government agency undertakes to conduct investigations into alleged misconduct in health care practice with a focus on state licensure boards that license and regulate various health care practitioners under state law.
These kinds of investigations either exonerate or implicate licensed health care practitioners for potential violations of law for which their license to practice is at stake.
These kinds of investigations may begin as civil matters and then may even proceed to criminal violations for health care crimes - either may result in ruinous practice and career consequences for the health care professional held to defend the investigations.
This advanced webinar offers an objective, thorough review of the state licensure board investigations conducted by the government against a licensed health care practitioner. Review the different standards and rights of the accused under investigation by the state against an individual health care practitioner.
Recognize the basic difference in civil and criminal investigations – where both may be carried out by the same agency.
State agencies routinely handle, investigate, and dismiss -- or prosecute -- alleged violations of law that can be career-ending for the health care practitioner. Understand and overcome roadblocks to your defense of the agency’s investigating and prosecuting an administrative disciplinary action.
This advanced webinar offers an objective, thorough review of the state agency investigative procedures that are applied against a licensed health care practitioner for alleged health care fraud or licensure violations.
Areas Covered in the Session:-
Why Should you Attend?
State and federal government agencies tasked with investigating alleged misconduct in health care generally follow prescribed steps in investigating the misconduct. Gathering (and even seizing) voluminous evidence and interviewing witnesses – such as former employees (and even current employees) – is a little-known process for the health care practitioner.
When an initiating complaint is filed with a state government agency that proceeds to investigate, the health care practitioner is now the target of an uncertain process as unknown to the practitioner.
This advanced webinar dispels the uncertainty about how investigations are conducted by a state or federal government agency. Health care practitioners who are fully informed about these procedures may better defend their actions and work successfully through the investigative process.
This advanced webinar then focuses on the unique investigative procedures used in state licensure board cases where a doctor or nurse, or any licensed health care professional, is under investigation and may lose their license to practice their chosen profession.
