Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Webinar. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has proven to be an important technology for the automation of manual processes. Hospitals are implementing RPA to respond to the challenging environment that currently exists in health care. This advanced technology helps hospitals to streamline operations, reduce the time to complete tasks, improve financial performance, and lower labor costs. It is easily used for common tasks that can be replicated, like queries, cutting and pasting, etc.; however can also be trained to automate more complex task including denials management, authorization management, claim edit resolution, and other processes.

How does it work? It uses custom programmed processes (robots) that have access to applications and data sources, including end-user health information systems, data input screens, and online application programming interfaces. These robots act as a revenue cycle representative who would normally complete these tasks. While other solutions require you to log into their system, Robotic Process Automation bots log into your systems.

Since RPA leverages artificial intelligence, the virtualization technology can be easily scaled and deployed across hospitals and various geographic locations.

Webcast URL: https://www.theknowledgegroup.org/webcasts/vertical-merger-enforcement/

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Vertical Merger Webinar. Vertical mergers proliferate in many markets with the promise of increasing business synergies to create more efficient operations. For the most part, U.S. antitrust agencies – the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission, offered little resistance based on “Chicago school” economic theories suggesting that vertical mergers raise few competitive concerns. Some antitrust enforcers are now pushing back against this engrained analytical framework, suggesting that vertical integration can result in anticompetitive consequences and should be scrutinized more closely. The agencies have responded by holding a series of public hearings and challenging for the first time in 40 years a vertical transaction – albeit unsuccessfully.

The growing debate about the appropriate metric to apply to vertical integration makes it imperative for legal counsel and business people companies to understand the latest enforcement developments appropriately counsel clients and avoid the emerging risk and pitfalls that vertical transactions likely will confront.

In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will present to the audience an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in vertical merger enforcement. Speakers will also present best practices and strategies to effectively address the important issues surrounding this significant topic.
