Firm to present Health Law Summit online

Dickinson Wright PLLC will present its Virtual Health Law Summit on Thursday and Friday, November 4-5.

Value-based care is gaining popularity nationwide as part of the Regulatory Sprint Towards Coordinated Care. Part of what makes value-based care so successful, is that it encourages providers to take a more proactive role in guiding their patient care so it is the center of every treatment. The Health Law Summit will discuss the different types of risk that providers can take on, and some concepts that need to be thought through before taking on a risk based contract.
