The health care compliance landscape continues to evolve as federal agencies refine enforcement priorities, regulatory requirements and expectations for health care organizations. For compliance teams and in-house counsel, keeping pace requires more than knowing what changed—it requires understanding where regulators are focusing their attention and what those developments mean operationally.
This session will examine significant health care compliance and regulatory developments from 2026, emerging enforcement trends and issues organizations should be watching as they prepare for the year ahead. The discussion will translate key developments into practical considerations for compliance programs, organizational risk assessments and day-to-day operations.

As AI tools become more integrated into everyday work, attorneys and health care organizations must consider how established professional responsibilities apply to rapidly changing technology.

Health care organizations engaged in clinical and academic research face significant legal, regulatory and reputational risks when questions arise about the integrity of research. An allegation involving fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other research integrity concerns can quickly involve researchers, institutional leadership, compliance teams, research administrators and federal regulators.
This session will walk through the legal and operational considerations that arise when potential research misconduct is identified. Attendees will learn how organizations can prepare for and respond to allegations, navigate internal inquiries and investigations, manage reporting and regulatory obligations, and address related issues involving whistleblowers, research records, confidentiality and institutional risk.

Terminating a payor agreement is never as simple as sending a notice and walking away. For health care providers, leaving a network can create a range of contractual, operational, financial and patient-related considerations that extend well beyond the termination date.
This session will examine what providers should consider before, during and after terminating a payor contract. The discussion will address contractual requirements, reimbursement and claims considerations, continuity-of-care obligations, patient communications and other practical issues that can arise when a provider moves out of network.

Managing employee leave has become increasingly complex as employers navigate overlapping obligations under the Family and Medical Leave Act, Americans with Disabilities Act and Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. A single employee situation can implicate multiple laws, different eligibility standards and competing requirements for leave, accommodations and return-to-work decisions.
This session will provide a practical look at managing employee leave and accommodation requests in the health care workplace. Through common scenarios and best practices, attendees will explore how the ADA, FMLA and PWFA interact, where employers frequently encounter problems and how organizations can build more consistent and defensible leave-management practices.
