Traditional dispute areas in the healthcare industry will be affected by the statutory and regulatory changes stemming from Healthcare Reform—and new sources of conflict are likely to arise from the impending legislative changes.
Integrating alternative dispute resolution (ADR) into a dispute-resolution program today would be a powerful, private and cost-effective method to resolve these disputes--while salvaging valuable business relationships.
Healthcare industry experts will address the benefits and practicalities of ADR for business-to-business healthcare-related disputes. The experts also will cover need-to-know information about changes in healthcare-dispute management.
