Webinar - The Evolving Landscape of Non-Profit Corporate Governance: The Changing Nature of the Duties of Directors and Officers to Their Organizations

Many directors and officers of non-profit health care organizations find themselves in a world to which they are unaccustomed. Legislative reform has changed the business model of health care forever. Moreover, the complexity of the health care regulatory scheme, and the manner in which it is being applied by the IRS, the OIG and states Attorney General, is unprecedented. And, all of this has come on the heels of one of this country's greatest economic downturns, which caused many hospitals and health systems to incur huge operating deficits, massive losses in investment income and a loss of access to the credit markets. This confluence of events has created an environment where the pressure on those governing and managing health care companies is becoming acute, forcing those individuals and their organizations to examine their duties, obligations and governance practices.

This session, presented by Roger Strode, a partner in the National Health Care Practice at McDermott Will & Emery, explored the recent changes experienced by the health care industry and focused on the impact of those changes on directors and officers of non-profit hospitals, health care systems and medical groups. Mr. Strode provided an overview of the basic (and evolving) fiduciary duties owed by directors and officers to their organizations and reviewed Federal and state enforcement trends in the non-profit context. He then reviewed governance trends and best practices being applied by some of this country's leading non-profit health care companies.

This presentation will provide you with an understanding of:

  • Core duties owed by directors and officers to their organizations
  • The overarching regulatory environment and its application to governance and management practices
  • Current trends in enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service, various states Attorney General, the Office of Inspector General (DHHS) and the United States Department of Justice
  • Trends and best practices in corporate governance.
