DateOctober 19, 2021While working to respond to the COVID pandemic, health centers received a tremendous amount of support. This support came in the form of grant funds, provider relief payments, the payroll protection and EIDL loan programs, and other resources. It is important that health centers approach all of the funds available to them with the mindset that it is not if, but when federal auditors will review health center use of these funds and records because reconciliation and accountability will come. Presenters will review all of the funds available to health centers and discuss the federal audits of the future to assist health centers with preparing and maintaining auditable records related to the stimulus funds they received while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.Objectives
- Review previous audit workplans of HHS Office of Inspector General and Division of Financial Integrity to understand how audits of COVID-19 stimulus funds will potentially be approached.
- Discuss financial statement audit considerations after FASB works through and provides guidance to financial statement auditors in regards to stimulus grant funds.
- Review financial management requirements of health center financial records to refresh knowledge surrounding record keeping and the use of grant funds.

DateOctober 19, 2021Telehealth and new remote work opportunities are changing the way in which health centers operate. In addition to remote-work legal considerations, having staff who no longer share physical space changes the work place dynamic. Given the benefits of remote work for employees, many health centers will be adopting hybrid work environments. This session will offer participants legal considerations for remote work and strategies to support team cohesion when staff are no longer co-located around the clock. As health centers continue to innovate and refine their staffing and workflows, understanding risks and how to mitigate those that arise in operations and in staff output will be critical to overall success.Objectives
- Gain an understanding of legal considerations associated with remote work relative to corporate, professional, IT and employment risks.
- Identify tools and techniques to assist health center leaders in building team cohesion with remote employees.
- Learn how to apply legal risk considerations to leadership and building new hybrid teams.
