What to Do About Violence
A 90-Minute Lunch & Learn Audio Conference
by: Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.
Thursday, March 28, 2024
****1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time****
Replay: April 4, 2024 (Recorded playback available for 24 hours)
Audio-Conference DescriptionViolence against providers of services in patients’ homes seems to be increasing. Several staff members have recently lost their lives while visiting patients. Home health agencies, hospices, private duty agencies, and HME companies have a duty to protect their staff members. When providers fail to protect workers, they may violate OSHA requirements and may be liable for negligence. What do current OSHA requirements say? What do workers have to prove in order to hold providers liable for negligence? How can providers avoid injuries to staff members, non-compliance with OSHA requirements, and liability for negligence? What concrete steps should providers take now to manage their risks? Learn what to do in light of a worsening problem for home care providers of all types. There will be plenty of time for questions during the teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.

Restrictive Covenants
Thursday, May 23, 2024
Replay: May 30, 2024 (Recorded playback available for 24 hours)
Audio-Conference DescriptionRestrictive covenants take many forms; including non-competes, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement agreements. Home health agencies, hospices, private duty agencies, and HME companies have all used restrictive covenants. Marketing and key staff members have often entered into non-compete agreements with their employers. Non-competes, however, are currently under tremendous fire. What can employers do? How should non-compete clauses be structured so that they are likely to pass muster with regulators? What about geographic limits? What about the length of time that non-competes are in effect? Employers may also be concerned about solicitation of both patients and other employees. How can they protect themselves from potentially serious losses? What about the use of non-disparagement agreements to help ensure that former employees don’t “bad-mouth” employers to patients, employees, and others in the community? There will be plenty of time for questions during this teleconference and extensive handouts will be provided.
