Information technology and data analysis are central to the operation of healthcare businesses today. Whether clients are acquiring and implementing electronic medical records systems, patient web portals or cloud-based services, or performing research and analysis using health care data, they are confronted with a variety of legal considerations. Many of our healthcare clients are on the forefront of deploying information technology, including one of the first (and largest) health information exchanges in the country using clinical data.
We provide healthcare clients with a broad range of expertise in software procurement and licensing, technology implementation, data use and research license agreements, technology collaborations and joint ventures, technology outsourcing arrangements, Internet issues, cloud-based services, protection of intellectual property rights and dispute resolution and litigation. We also have expertise regarding compliance with the requirements of E-SIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act) to ensure the validity and enforceability of electronic records and transactions.
