The law and regulatory environment rapidly evolves based upon the political pendulum and the extraordinary changes within the health care industry. Learn what legal and regulatory developments will have the greatest impact upon hospitals in Kentucky and what you can do as health care leaders to adapt to these challenges.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental structure of the legal/regulatory system and why the greatest impact on health care comes from regulatory executive branch rules, and not from Congress or even the Supreme Court.
  • Understand the impact of the recent Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and why the significant weakening of “Chevron deference” will have a potentially profound impact on the ability of executive branch agencies to make regulatory rules that will impact the health care industry.
  • Understand the difference between for-profit and not-forprofit health care organizations/systems and why the IRS rules have such an impact on what you can and cannot do.
  • Learn the most significant recent legal and regulatory developments that will have the greatest impact upon your leadership of hospitals in Kentucky.
