Adding Value to IHEN Membership through Access and Affordability
The IHEN board and volunteer committees have been working diligently in 2019 to add value to your IHEN membership. As healthcare leaders, we all face challenges offering quality care to our patients that is convenient and cost effective. We are presented with similar challenges with IHEN as we look to offer educational programs and networking opportunities that are close to home and affordable.
ACHE allows each local chapter to offer up to 12 Face to Face (F2F) credits per year. The F2F credits are vital to those pursuing Fellow status (FACHE) and the events also offer great networking opportunities. We are happy to share that in 2018 we offered the maximum 12 F2F credits to IHEN members here in Indiana. We have heard through our member survey that you would like to see education offered more throughout the state and that we should continue to look to drive down price.
Our team has responded to the feedback and also felt passionately that our chapter needed to address to key topics early in 2019: the Opioid Crisis and Diversity and Inclusion. Our programming started this year with F2F credits in Ft. Wayne on March 13 as an expert panel discussed the
Healthcare Executives Role in the Opioid Crisis
. Our next education program will be at IU Health North in Carmel on May 2 for more F2F credits where we will discuss
Diversity and Inclusion.
We are in the planning stages for other events in northwest Indiana, southern Indiana, and the Indianapolis area. Please look for upcoming program details on our social media accounts, e-mail distributions, and website.
We are also pleased to offer other volunteer, networking, mentoring, and programming opportunities. We will come together on April 10 to volunteer and network as we create Naloxone kits for our communities. We have an Early Careerist program on March 27 to help guide the next generation of healthcare leaders on career development and we will launch our Mentoring program on April 9.
Please mark your calendars for the IHEN Awards Dinner on September 4. We are wrapping up the details now and will be excited to announce our guest speaker in the coming weeks.
Thank you to fellow IHEN board members for their leadership and the numerous volunteers that it takes to execute all of these great IHEN opportunities. We appreciate your feedback as IHEN members and hope that you see value added to your IHEN membership in 2019.

Who is the Medical Provider?
By Roya Porter
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently affirmed a decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on a case where a jury returned a verdict of $15 million in favor of the plaintiffs and against an imaging facility. Webster v. CDI Indiana, LLC, No. 18-3080, 2019 WL 943171 (7
th
Cir. Feb. 27, 2019). The facility had argued the plaintiffs could not hold the facility liable, because the facility did not employ the medical provider who failed to identify a mass on a CT scan. The District Court and the Seventh Circuit rejected this position and applied Indiana’s apparent agency law. Any company that a patient may reasonably perceive as holding itself out as a provider of medical services should be aware of this decision and take steps to address this issue.
In
Webster v. CDI
, the plaintiff had a CT scan performed at CDI, Indiana, LLC ("CDI"), a diagnostic imaging facility. The radiologist who performed the CT scan was an independent contractor of Medical Scanning Consultants ("MSC"). CDI had entered into a service agreement with MSC in which MSC agreed to provide independent contractor radiologists at CDI’s Carmel, Indiana facility. The radiologist missed a cancer mass in interpreting the CT scan, so the diagnosis was delayed for over a year, and the plaintiff’s cancer metastasized. Since CDI had not registered with the Indiana Department of Insurance as a "qualified health care provider" under the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act (the "Act"), the cap on liability under the Act for medical malpractice actions did not apply to CDI. The plaintiff filed claims against the radiologist and MSC, pursuant to the Act; however, the plaintiff sued CDI separately under an exception to the Act’s applicability with regards to unqualified health care providers. Ind. Code § 34-18-3-1.
