The Business of Telehealth: Legal & Regulatory Framework for Digital Health: Compliance, Policy, and Risk Management in Virtual Care
Digital health is scaling faster than the legal and regulatory frameworks designed to govern it. Health systems are deploying virtual care across state lines, integrating AI into clinical workflows, partnering with DTC platforms, and navigating pharmacy compliance—all while managing a complex patchwork of federal and state regulations that are evolving in real time. A single misstep in licensure compliance, data privacy, pharmacy law, reimbursement documentation, or malpractice risk can halt innovation, trigger costly enforcement actions, or expose your organization to liability.
The legal landscape is complex and constantly shifting. Pharmacy compounding regulations are under scrutiny. AI liability frameworks remain unclear. State telehealth parity laws vary widely. Corporate practice of medicine restrictions differ by jurisdiction. And federal agencies are issuing new guidance that health systems must interpret and operationalize quickly.
This deep dive cuts through the complexity. Leading healthcare attorneys, regulatory experts, and industry practitioners delve into the crucial legal challenges impacting digital and virtual care today — helping you navigate potential pitfalls, understand your exposure, and build strategies to mitigate risk while continuing to scale.

What you’ll explore:
- Pharmacy law and compounding in DTC telemedicine: Navigating FDA compounding regulations, state pharmacy board requirements, and compliance challenges when integrating telehealth prescribing with pharmacy fulfillment—including emerging issues around compounded medications like GLP-1s and hormone therapies.
- Digital health privacy and security: Current state of HIPAA enforcement, state privacy laws (including comprehensive state statutes), vendor risk management, and emerging privacy considerations for AI-enabled healthcare tools and consumer-facing platforms.
- Professional liability and malpractice risk: Virtual care liability frameworks, standard of care considerations in telehealth, informed consent requirements, documentation best practices, and strategies for managing malpractice exposure as digital care scales.
- Corporate practice of medicine: Structuring compliant telehealth partnerships, vendor relationships, and DTC models across different state frameworks—exploring both traditional health system perspectives and innovative direct-to-consumer approaches.
- Telehealth regulatory compliance and fraud & abuse: Multi-state licensure navigation, reimbursement documentation standards, Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute implications, payer contract requirements, and federal enforcement trends affecting digital health.
- Gain insights to enhance your legal strategy and protect your organization as you activate digital care at scale.
Designed for: General counsel, compliance officers, risk management leaders, telehealth program directors, DTC platform executives, and health system leaders navigating legal complexity in digital health.
Enterprise AI Governance & Clinical Deployment
Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon — it’s already in clinical workflows. Health systems are deploying AI for diagnostic support, clinical documentation, predictive analytics, and patient engagement at unprecedented speed. But moving AI from promising pilots to enterprise-scale deployment requires more than technology: it demands robust governance, rigorous validation, continuous monitoring, and clear accountability frameworks. The stakes are high. Without proper oversight, AI can amplify bias, erode patient trust, and expose organizations to regulatory and legal risk. Yet with the right structures in place, AI can enhance clinical decision-making, reduce administrative burden, and improve outcomes at scale.
This deep dive explores how health systems and solution providers are operationalizing responsible AI as models move from pilots into production. Grounded in the ATA AI Principles, the session examines governance structures, model validation, and post-deployment monitoring, alongside evolving legal, regulatory, and state-level policy considerations, to clarify what it takes to deploy and sustain AI responsibly in real-world clinical and operational settings.
Designed for: Chief Digital Officers, Chief Medical Informatics Officers, AI program leaders, clinical informatics directors, data science teams, compliance officers, and solution providers deploying AI in healthcare settings.
