A Physician’s Keys to Locking Out Lawsuits and Reducing Taxes

Monday, April 9
Noon – 1:00 p.m., Anaheim/Atlanta/Boston Room
Lunch provided at noon.

Objectives:

• Protect your license from negative reports to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) following a settlement from your insurance company. If there is no NPDB report, it’s unlikely that a board investigation into the legal matter will materialize. Preventing any sanctions from the state licensing board.
• Show how to structure: C-corps, S-corps, FLPs, LLCs, etc.
• Teach the use of legal tools that will protect their professional and personal assets from lawsuits. (Statistically, not even 1 in 100,000 are using these tools in the right way.)
• Learn how to protect business, property, and personal assets in the event of a judgment in excess of liability insurance.
• Learn how to protect your license from negative reports to the NPDB following a settlement from your insurance company. If there is no NPDB report, it’s unlikely that a board investigation into the legal matter will materialize. Preventing any sanctions from the state licensing board.
• Learn the best business structure for income tax reduction. Learn the new tax laws passed in 2017 and how they can benefit you.

Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP) in the Hospital Setting: Why Are Patients Not Getting Better?

Monday, April 9
7:30 – 9:30 p.m., Canary Room 1-2
Dinner provided at 7:30 p.m.

Program Summary: Appropriate management of pneumonia in the hospital setting can have a substantial impact on patient outcomes and hospital measures such as readmission rates and length of stay. Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) is one of the most common infectious diseases, one of the most frequent infections requiring antibiotics, and remains a leading cause of death in the United States. During this presentation, we will review current CABP guidelines from IDSA (the Infectious Diseases Society of America) and discuss the importance of appropriate antibiotic selection as it relates to the tenets of antimicrobial stewardship. The faculty will present two case studies and will solicit audience participation with a focus on antibiotic resistance and the importance of transition of care.
