One of the few constants in the field of health law is change. Another is there are many traps for the unwary. This year's NCBA Health Law Section annual CLE captures a bit of both!

This day-long event focuses on several important areas of change within health care: the impact in North Carolina of privatization of health care, coupled with a post-COVID trend toward health care consumerism; alternative payment models and the continued march toward incentivizing quality and efficiency over volume, including a survey of value-based programs in North Carolina; and the historic Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and its effect on health care providers and care delivery nationwide.

Additionally, this year's sessions provide essential insight from experienced practitioners into the challenges and pitfalls that health care lawyers routinely face, including navigating health care provider licensure boards while embracing new care models and other innovative opportunities, and maintaining attorney-client privilege within the context of health care investigations, as well as while in the role of counselor and advocate to the board and executive team.

Our keynote speaker, Jay Ludlam, Assistant Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, addresses some of these issues, as well as his role in transforming North Carolina Medicaid from fee-for-service to managed care, and the challenges inherent in providing care to traditionally underserved communities.
