Catherine Short converses with Rachel V. Rose, JD, MBA, principal with Rachel V. Rose – Attorney at Law, P.L.L.C., Houston, TX and Bruce J. Lynskey, Co-Founder at ePrevenir, on the topic of “Negotiations in Healthcare and Technology.” Negotiating occurs in every facet of business and law. From contractual negotiations through settlement negotiations, it is a delicate dance. There are a variety of classic negotiation techniques, which include extreme posturing and “anchoring”. Healthcare and cybersecurity present unique challenges because of the looming exposure to a government investigation and either a civil and/or criminal action, even if a settlement is reached between two private parties. Here we will discuss approaches when negotiating contracts, settlements, and other items, which arise in healthcare and the cybersecurity industries.
