The Business of Telehealth: Legal & Regulatory
Framework for Digital Health: Compliance, Policy, and Risk
Management in Virtual Care

May 12 at 3 p.m. ET

Hosted by Nathaniel Lacktman, chair of the firm’s
Telemedicine & Digital Health Team and Chairman of ATA’s
Board of Directors, this session will have digital health leaders
delve into crucial regulatory challenges impacting the digital
health industry and provide valuable insights on navigating
potential pitfalls and mitigating consequences. The program is
designed for general counsel, compliance officers, risk
management leaders, telehealth program directors,
direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform executives, and health system
leaders navigating legal complexity in digital health. Enhance your
legal strategy by joining this session — your legal team will
thank you.

Digital health is scaling faster than the legal and regulatory
frameworks designed to govern it. Health systems are deploying
virtual care across state lines, integrating Artificial
Intelligence (AI) into clinical workflows, partnering with DTC
platforms, and navigating pharmacy compliance — all while
managing a complex patchwork of federal and state regulations that
are evolving in real time. A single misstep in licensure
compliance, data privacy, pharmacy law, reimbursement
documentation, or malpractice risk can halt innovation, trigger
costly enforcement actions, or expose your organization to
liability.

The legal landscape is complex and constantly shifting. Pharmacy
compounding regulations are under scrutiny. AI liability frameworks
remain unclear. State telehealth parity laws vary widely. Corporate
practice of medicine restrictions differ by jurisdiction. And
federal agencies are issuing new guidance that health systems must
interpret and operationalize quickly.

This deep dive cuts through the complexity. Leading health care
attorneys, regulatory experts, and industry practitioners delve
into the crucial legal challenges impacting digital and virtual
care today — helping you navigate potential pitfalls,
understand your exposure, and build strategies to mitigate risk
while continuing to scale.
