Harris Beach Launches State-Wide Health Care Blog for Industry Leaders to Share Their Thoughts and Perspectives

The Harris Beach law firm has launched the New York Health Care Blog as a professional forum for health care industry leaders to exchange thoughts and ideas on the industry and the reform it is undergoing (http://blog.harrisbeach.com/healthcare/). The health care industry is highly complex and necessarily subject to stringent regulation. Navigating through the complexities is made even more challenging given the constant change the industry experiences. The pace of this change is only threatening to increase over the coming years. New York Health Care Blog is specifically designed for health care industry leaders to share their perspectives shaped by every day experiences.

“Although there are many sources from which one can receive health care industry news, very few provide an opportunity for industry leaders to share their ideas on a subject that touches us all,” said Heidi Schult Gregory, co-leader of the Harris Beach Health Care Providers Industry Team. “It is our intention that the New York Health Care Blog can provide such a forum. This is a state-wide effort designed to assist health care leaders to address and discuss best practices in a highly regulated industry.”

The New York Health Care Blog is moderated by an editorial board composed of attorneys on the Harris Beach Health Care Providers Industry Team. 

“Our team has been a trusted legal advisor to those at the forefront of the health care industry in New York for decades and we are excited to be able to draw upon this experience as we look to create this new, interactive forum,” said Ms. Gregory.

Harris Beach promises to consistently post material to the New York Health Care Blog on a wide range of topics. Topics are categorized under five major headings: Corporate and Business Operations, Clinical Operations, Fraud and Abuse, HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) Privacy and Security, and Health Reform.
