Governing Board and Senior Leadership Responsibility, Accountability and Liability: The Compliance Hot Seat
October 7
Health care is one of the most regulated industries in the country. Health care governing boards and senior leadership are charged with ensuring compliance with statutes, rules and regulations, some of which may pose serious penalties for non-compliance. Board members who are not regularly involved in health care industry operations may not have a full appreciation for their personal liability. In this session, you will gain a better understanding of Board members’ and senior leaders’ responsibility for corporate compliance, from the structure and oversight of the compliance program – to addressing issues effectively to reflect the organization’s commitment to compliance. This session will include the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) guidance for boards and is intended to educate you on current best practices in compliance oversight.

Wisconsin Rural Community - Based Palliative Care Project Outcomes
October 22
Palliative care is supportive medical care for people with serious illnesses. Regardless of the diagnosis, palliative care focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness. In 2018, under the guidance of Minnesota based Stratis Health, the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health and MetaStar, combined forces to meet the goal of expanding rural palliative care in Wisconsin. After recruiting lead organizations and inviting community members to join the project, six coalitions were formed. Each coalition developed their own aims and objectives specific to each county’s needs. In this session leaders from each of the Palliative Care Coalitions will share their experiences, outcomes, and challenges.
