This tool will help you protect yourself and your facility from legal pitfalls.

As a medical staff services professional (MSP), compliance officer, risk manager, or physician executive, your job is vitally important. You are working in a rapidly evolving and expanding new era of compliance. Laws, regulations, and new court decisions that affect the medical staff are increasing in both number and complexity.

Plaintiffs attorneys examine the credentialing and privileging process more closely these days. How will this effect you and your processes? It is absolutely necessary for you to understand the legal system as it relates to healthcare, and particularly medical staff compliance.

During the course of your work, you are often asked to go above and beyond the call of duty. You have probably been required to draft documents that contain legal components, or even to draft bylaws-although you may not be comfortable with the jargon or implications.

This one-of-a-kind resource will bring you up to speed on all the relevant legal concepts and language. This useful book provides you with a comprehensive overview of the complex legal issues related to medical staff credentialing, including:

  • Legal terminology
  • Landmark court cases
  • Healthcare law and legislation
  • HCQIA
  • NPBD / HIPDB

All the legal information you need is in one, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand resource. Medical Staff Law provides the essential information you need to do your job better-and with more confidence. Use this book as a quick legal reference or as a primer on medical staff law.

  • Learn the basic theories of tort law, especially corporate negligence
  • Avoid negligent credentialing claims
  • Make your hospital's peer review processes litigation-proof
  • Limit your legal exposure
  • Know what to do when you or one of the physician leaders is served with a subpoena duces tetum
  • Put in place policies to address impaired physicians and disruptive behavior
  • And much more

This resource will give you the knowledge you need to speak and act authoritatively about the legal aspects of your job.

You can also effectively use this resource manual as a study aid if you are studying for the CPCS certification exam. Medical Staff Law is also designed to explain important legal cases and terminology related to credentialing. Turn to this helpful resource to assist you in preparing for the legal sections of the certification exam. This book is:

  • The best way to get up-to-speed on the legal aspects of your job
