Guidebook To Laws Governing The Practice Of Medicine By Physicians And Surgeons

The Physician Practice Compliance Resource Manual is a comprehensive, practical resource designed specifically for the medical group practice environment. This manual will not only review the legislation governing compliance issues in group practices, it will provide practical instruction and tools for implementing a physician practice compliance program, as well as sample forms, policies and procedures to help practices get started. The material will include checklists to guide physicians in meeting Federal compliance guidelines; a suggested schedule and work plan for developing a compliance program; audit plans, including information on working with attorneys and consultants; sample discipline, waiver, billing and reporting policies, and much more. An indispensable resource, the manual will be updated annually.

This non-technical guide to medical law is valued by doctors and other health professionals who have little time or the legal background to read detailed books on medical law. Law for Doctors focuses on aspects of English law that are particularly relevant to medical practice such as civil claims, legal procedures, funding, complaints, whistle-blowing, disciplinary proceedings, coroners' courts and criminal law. This second edition includes new sections on recent case law and statutory developments and provides further information about confidentiality and disclosure, and disciplinary proceedings. It will appeal to all clinical and managerial staff, and students, who are involved in the delivery of healthcare.
