Overview
We provide clients with legal guidance regarding the operation of major medical centers, hospitals and healthcare facilities. We assist these clients with complex litigation and medical staff representation.
Our healthcare expertise extends to all aspects of medical staff operations, including such issues as medical staff bylaws, peer review, emergency room coverage, exclusive contracts, allegations of anti-competitive activities of fellow physicians and dealing with the disruptive or impaired physician. Our attorneys have considerable experience assisting medical staffs in structural re-tooling and reorganization to improve efficiency and to minimize vulnerability of quality improvement activities to discovery and challenge.
We have dealt with legal issues facing hospital boards of directors and medical staffs of both large and small public and private hospitals. We have experience with the special considerations that apply to governance and activities of public hospitals and their medical staff, including matters such as open meeting requirements, civil rights, public records access, reporting obligations, and indigent care.
