Alaap Shah and Andy Rusczek, Members of the Firm, present at Health Care Data: Navigating Legal and Operational Challenges, a virtual program hosted by the American Health Law Association, on April 13.
Digital health technologies are transforming health care delivery, but also presenting new legal and operational challenges for health care providers. During AHLA’s one-day, virtual Health Care Data program, leading experts offer insights on key legal and regulatory developments, data governance, interoperability, privacy, compliance, cyber security, and more.
This program is designed for in-house and outside counsel, privacy and security officers, compliance officers, consultants, and others who advise health care clients on the complex issues surrounding health care data regulatory and implementation challenges.
Alaap co-presents "Data Governance: A Digital Economy Depends on Digital Trust" at 11:00 am.

- The role of ethics in data governance
- Data governance as a differentiator to build trust
- How to leverage data governance to build a culture of compliance
- Assembling a well-functioning data governance committee: The composition, need, functions, and membership
