LORI A. LA SALLE has a great deal of experience in healthcare law, having represented hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), independent practice associations (IPAs), and Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs). Ms. La Salle's experience ranges from advising healthcare providers and suppliers on compliance matters, fraud and abuse issues, HIPAA, EMTALA, human-subject research, assisted reproductive technology, mental health matters, advance directives and all aspects of guardianship proceedings. Moreover, her contracting experience spans from IPA formation to managed care contracting, commercial and government audits, physician arrangements, drafting and negotiating services, clinical trial and software agreements.

Ms. La Salle is an active member of the North Shore-LIJ Health System Institutional Review Board and has served on the Statewide Collaborative Process, Privacy and Security Workgroup, which was responsible for developing state-wide policies and agreements that govern participation in the state-wide HIE.

Ms. La Salle's experience also spans beyond the law firm setting as she was a Senior Associate General Counsel at one of the nation's largest healthcare systems--comprised of fifteen hospitals (including three world-class tertiary hospitals and a nationally-recognized children's hospital and psychiatric facility), a hospice, home care services, a major medical research institute, and skilled nursing facilities. While at the healthcare system, she coordinated and responded to audits and surveys from various state and national regulatory agencies. Moreover, Ms. La Salle also gained a great deal of experience as the Director of Risk Management at a large NYC hospital system, and as an associate litigation attorney litigating high-exposure medical malpractice cases for a Wall Street law firm.

Ms. LaSalle was recently appointed to serve on the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY) Policy Committee, which is responsible for developing statewide policy governing the electronic exchange of health information between unrelated organizations via a Health Information Exchange (HIE). Ms. La Salle also serves on the Health Law Committee of the New York State Bar Association and the Managed Care Committee of Healthcare Financial Management Association.

Prior to her vast legal experience, Ms. La Salle was a practicing RN in the operating room at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and was instrumental in establishing a multi-specialty physician practice in Westchester County.
