Harassment in the Workplace – A Written Policy and Acknowledgement
are No Longer Enough | May 5, 2018 9:00 a.m.
Sexual harassment and the hot topic of “the Great Awakening” of 2017 are in the
news almost daily. Simply having a two-paragraph policy statement prohibiting
workplace harassment and a signed acknowledgement of the policy do not guar-
antee compliance or protect your practice. Is it time to take a new approach to
the prevention of all forms of harassment and discrimination claims for your prac-
tice? The Equal Em ployment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) takes such claims
very seriously. You should too. Employers must take a systematic approach to this
problem. Don’t wait until you have a complaint to reduce your risk.
Kathy R. White, FACMPE, PHR, a senior medical practice consul-
tant for State Volunteer Mutual Insurance Company, will address
this topic. This session will provide insight on the growing sta-
tistics of claims in our country and steps you can take to ensure
your practice has a program that promotes an environment free
of discrimination.
There Is More To Cyber Than Just Crime! | May 5, 2018
10:30 a.m.
Based on cyber investigations and training, this session will focus on data, meta-
data, digital evidence, and information surrounding all things digital. For example,
where is the data actually at? What is metadata and why is it so important in in-
vestigations? How fragile is digital evidence? Why is memory scraping, slack files,
and swap space important to you?
William “Trey” Whatley has been a special agent with the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation since October 2000. Prior to becoming an agent, he worked as a com-
puter forensic examiner for the FBI. In 2010, he became a member of the Cyber
Action Team, which responds to large scale cyber events for the FBI. Whatley has
investigated white collar and cyber crimes and currently conducts national secu-
rity investigations. He is currently on the cyber crime squad and has extensive
experience with data storage, acquisition, and recovery.

2018 Seminar for Physicians and Non-Physicians
DeGray Lake Resort State Park
Friday, May 4, 2018 | 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
The 2018 Risk Education Seminar, “A Jury’s Perspective: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly,” will be held in conjunction with the AMS
Annual Session. It is almost certain that physicians and providers will be involved in a lawsuit at some point in their careers, which
may tempt some to practice defensive medicine. As an alternative, this program offers protective practices derived from jury
feedback. Experienced trial attorneys in your state will discuss actual malpractice trials with a focus on jury science. Good and bad
practices and behaviors of the entire healthcare team will be explored.
Objectives
• Identify juror expectations regarding practitioners’ practices and behaviors.
• Describe strategies to improve physician-patient relationships after an adverse outcome.
• Develop protective practices to reduce risk.
• Recognize how applying jury science can correlate to better patient care.
