Healthcare Workshops to Feature New Information

SALT LAKE CITY — The National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA), the organization that establishes, builds, protects, and defends business value, today announced that its Healthcare Consulting Workshop will include at least half a dozen newly updated topics especially relevant to hospitals and physician practices because of new and pending legislation in 2008.

"The healthcare field faces tons of new challenges," said Gregory Reardon, CEO of the Reardon Group, a healthcare financial consultancy, and principal course developer for the NACVA Healthcare Consulting Workshop. "Demographics are forcing hospitals to look harder to find physicians, medical practices forced to think in new and innovative ways about succession planning; and Medicare legislation is changing the way services are billed and fair market value is determined."

The Healthcare Workshop is part of NACVA's Consultants Training Institute. The five-day workshops will appear in three cities throughout the nation during 2008.  Read more about course content, instructors, and dates at: www.nacva.com/CTI/cti_HC.asp

Reardon says the five-day workshop is also being revamped and updated in 2008 to include new information on reasonableness opinions; determining incremental costs in physician recruitment incentives; fair market value determinations for rentals, equipment, personnel employment leasing arrangements, on-call compensation, and medical directorships; profitability analysis; benchmarking resources; normalization how-to’s; regulatory compliance testing; the impact of SSVS1 and NACVA’s new standards on healthcare reporting effective for 2008 and Calculated Value Reports; per click leasing arrangements; independent contractors; regional marketplaces; and Stark law compliance.
