Stoel Rives Launches New Health Law Insider Blog

Portland, Ore. — Stoel Rives LLP is pleased to announce the launch of the firm’s latest blog, Health Law Insider, which is dedicated to tracking developments and trends in the health care industry. The blog can be found at https://www.healthlawinsider.com/.

The intended audience of the blog includes health care providers, managed care entities, insurers, group health plans and vendors in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. The blog authors will bring their expertise to bear to provide insights on the full spectrum of legal issues shaping today’s health care industry, including data privacy and security, fraud and abuse, health care transactions, antitrust, taxation and insurance regulation.

The initial roster of blog authors includes attorneys Sarah Bimber, Manmeet Dhami, Timothy Hatfield, Kelly Knivila, Tony Miles, Kara Morse and Sarah Oyer.

Hatfield, the contact person for Health Law Insider, wrote in the blog’s inaugural post: “The health care delivery system is in the midst of a transformation. While the end state is unknown, it is almost certain to involve greater provider accountability for health outcomes, as well as increased reliance on data and technology. This blog will seek to inform those who are the agents of health delivery transformation about the ever-changing laws and regulations that govern the industry.”

Tony Miles, who heads Stoel Rives’ health care industry group, said, “We are always looking to enhance the value we bring to the marketplace and industry.  Our clients have afforded Stoel Rives lawyers the opportunity to gain expertise of substantial breadth and depth across the health care industry. Our work on these matters also helps us develop insights about the legal implications of recent developments in the industry that we regularly share with clients who engage us on those matters.  We realized that a blog would give us the opportunity to share these insights in a timely way with a broader circle of our clients and friends.”
