SUMMARY:What To Do When the Government Comes Calling
DESCRIPTION:For this virtual event\, Tony Box and Jenny Givens\, Partners at Gray Reed\, will be sharing their expertise for what to do when the government comes to your door. \nThe healthcare industry\, particularly physicians\, labs and pharmacies\, has been in the cross hairs of the federal government for the past several years. All too often physicians\, office managers and other professionals react out of fear and ignorance when the FBI or other law enforcement agencies raid their offices\, an agent serves them a subpoena or an agent contacts them by phone. Their immediate actions\, which include signing documents\, giving statements\, handing over files or even communicating internally via text message\, can have long-term consequences that change the course and outcome of the case. This presentation by Gray Reed Partners Tony Box\, a former FBI agent\, and Jenny Givens\, a healthcare attorney Certified in Healthcare Compliance by the Compliance Certification Board\, will educate healthcare professionals on what to do and what not to do if a government agent shows up\, as well as how to implement policies and training programs so staff\, board members and other employees are prepared in the event of a raid or government investigation. \n  \n \nTony Box represents businesses and high-net-worth individuals in all types of civil and criminal tax controversies\, white-collar defense cases\, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions\, and compliance matters focused on preventing government inquiries and minimizing business disruptions. He protects U.S. and international clients spanning several industries\, including healthcare\, technology\, energy\, real estate\, construction\, manufacturing and many more. \nBefore joining Gray Reed\, Tony developed a diverse skill set while serving in a number of public and private sector positions. Most recently\, he served as a government trial lawyer and tax coordinator responsible for leading federal tax investigations and prosecutions in the Eastern District of Missouri\, as well as other high-profile cases involving white-collar crime\, identity theft\, illegal guns\, drugs and violent crimes. \nIn addition\, Tony previously served as an investigator and prosecutor in the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office where he led the conviction integrity unit and handled many types of investigations involving violent crime\, police misconduct and civil rights matters. Tony is also a licensed CPA and spent three years at a Big Four accounting firm overseeing multi-million-dollar financial audits and investigations in the U.S. and abroad. \nTony has an extensive background in federal law enforcement as well. He served as an FBI special agent for nearly a decade\, initially as a financial crime investigator handling a broad range of white-collar criminal investigations\, and later as a computer forensics examiner directing all FBI media examinations in the Eastern District of Missouri. \nTony’s leadership skills and appreciation for collaboration were honed while serving on active duty in the Army as a tank commander and later as a JAG officer in Iraq. He also served as a senior civilian advisor in Afghanistan. Tony is a graduate of Army Airborne\, Air Assault\, Armor & JAG basic courses\, as well as the JAG advanced course. \n  \n \nHealthcare providers trust Jenny Givens to help them navigate the numerous regulatory frameworks impacting their businesses and to guide them through a variety of operational\, privacy and corporate matters. She works with a wide range of providers with operations primarily in Texas but also in many states across the country\, including hospitals\, physician entities\, ambulatory surgery centers\, pharmacies\, laboratories\, neuromonitoring facilities plus many more. Jenny is Board Certified in Health Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and Certified in Healthcare Compliance by the Compliance Certification Board. \nJenny is the go-to advisor for healthcare providers that need strategic guidance on how regulatory compliance interacts with their everyday operations and long-term business planning. She has substantial experience in developing proactive policies and corrective action plans concerning several issues\, including fraud and abuse\, the Stark Law\, the Anti-Kickback Statute\, HIPAA\, EMTALA\, licensure and certification\, patient overflow and billing and reimbursement. Jenny also helps clients with a variety of transactional and corporate matters\, ranging from employment contracts and coverage agreements to management services contracts and entity formation. \nBefore joining the firm\, Jenny held in-house positions at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and City of Hope National Medical Center in Pasadena\, California\, where she handled a variety of transactional and compliance matters. Prior to entering law school\, Jenny served as an assistant administrator for a community hospital in Los Angeles where she worked with medical staff committees\, participated in all executive team committees and was responsible for strategic planning\, service quality\, licensing and accreditation activities and day-to-day operations of the hospital’s ancillary services. \nRegister Here\nA special thanks to Jenny\, Tony and Gray Reed for offering to provide us their wisdom on this important topic\nand all their support of ACHENTX! \n

SUMMARY:ACHENTX 3rd Quarter Education Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nThese two panels have been approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face Credits each (3.0 if you attend both sessions) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n3-3:30pm – Check-In & Networking \n3:30-5pm – Panel 1: Sustainable Strategies to Support Resiliency and Professional Well-being for Healthcare Professionals \n5-5:30pm – Dinner & Networking \n5:30-7pm – Panel 2: RN & Clinical Staff Retention & Turnover \n  \nA special thanks to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth for hosting this event!! \n  \nPanel 1: Sustainable Strategies to Support Resiliency and Professional Well-being for Healthcare Professionals \nAdverse patient events have been attributed to healthcare staff who have experienced difficulty sleeping\, reduced job satisfaction\, impaired behavior and anxiety. These attributes contribute to more serious consequences such as burnout\, depression\, post-traumatic disorder and suicidal ideation. The suicide rate for physicians is higher than that for any other profession\, in part because of the stress of medical school\, risk for malpractice\, sleep deprivation and challenges with work/life balance. Healthcare leaders often struggle with finding long-term solutions to address an important but personal issue for their staff and organization. During this panel\, participants will learn sustainable strategies and approaches that will address well-being and resiliency for healthcare professionals in today’s healthcare environment. Even when leaders recognize this as a problem\, they are often presented with confusing information or get-better-quick solutions that bring no lasting change and can sometimes increase cynicism among employees. During this panel\, participants will learn the importance of sustaining well-being for healthcare professionals in today’s health care environment. \n  \nPanel 1 Panelists: \nChristi Nguyen DNP\, RN\, FACHE\, NEA-BC; ACNO of Nurse Excellence; UT Southwestern Medical Center (Moderator) \nElaine Beardsley MN ACCNS-P CPEN; Clinical Resiliency Specialist Program Manager; Children’s Health \nDr. Thomas Glenn Ledbetter; Chief Medical Officer; Baylor Scott & White Health DFW Central Region and BSWH Waxahachie \nGlenda Mutinda\, PhD\, MFT; Director of Interprofessional Well-Being; JPS Health Network \nMihir Patel\, MD\, MBA\, FACP\, CPE; Chief Medical Officer\, Monarch Region; Sound Physicians \n  \nPanel 2: RN & Clinical Staff Retention & Turnover \nWith an aging population\, baby boomers retiring\, millennials taking over the work force\, and reimbursements being more tied to patient satisfaction and administrative duties\, it is no surprise that turnover is at an all-time high. It is imperative for hospitals and health care systems to understand the impact of turnover as well as how to increase retention through engagement\, professional development and mentorship. \nPanel 2 Panelists: \nTraci Lawler-Shortt\, DNP; Client Services Vice President/Clinical Operations Specialist/ Lead Nurse Practitioner; SCP Health (Moderator) \nKatie Bata Heeter; Senior VP; HR Strategic Business Services; Baylor Scott & White Health \nShonna Bracco\, DNP; Chief Nursing Officer\, Texas Health Resources \nKelly Martin; Vice President of Human Resources; Texas Health Resources \n  \n\nRegister Here\n\n  \nPanel 1 Speakers’ Bios: \nDr. Christi Nguyen has been a nurse for 27 years and nurse leader for 17 years.
