The process of becoming a true SME requires considerable time and effort gaining experience and delving deeply into a particular area of specific knowledge. Gaining the knowledge of relevant healthcare regulations and privacy rules is relatively straightforward as there are many sources of it, but it is the real-world experience that tests that knowledge, its application, and the critical thinking processes needed to dissect situations in which wrongful actions affecting this information have taken place.
One also must understand the specific guidelines governing how an SME/EW must qualify themselves and the rules by which they must abide to provide the best service to their clients and build and protect their reputation and credibility.
Areas Covered
Federal Rules of Evidence (Rule 702), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Rules 26 and 37), the Frye and Daubert Standards, Writing SME Opinion reports, Evidence, Elements of Negligence claims, Deposition process, the Discovery Process.
Course Level - Intermediate-Advanced
Who Should Attend
Privacy officers, security officers, risk analysts, legal staff of provider organizations,
Why Should You Attend
More and more we hear of ransomware, breaches, and misuse of individually identifiable protected health information, usually called PHI. It is well known that information theft and monetization appear to be very lucrative, and health information is the most sought-after type: it is widespread, it has multiple ways to exploited and it is often the most poorly protected by the entities holding it. But there is much more to this story – what happens to those that exploit this and what happens to the entities holding it after an attack of this sort?
In this briefing, will discuss these topics and others from the perspective of an SME and Expert Witness, including “What is an SME/EW and what do they do?” “How do they provide their services?” “What skills are needed?” “Can this be a career for someone?” “How would I get started doing this?”
Topic Background
The role of the Subject Matter Expert/Expert Witness in legal proceedings has a very long history, and they play an important and clarifying role as they bring real-world knowledge and experience into a legal proceeding.
