PLI Press is proud to announce the publication of the new edition of Healthcare Employment Practice: Policy, Law and Procedure.
The hospital and healthcare environment has become more fractured and fractious in recent years. Job satisfaction among healthcare professionals is down due to occupational stress, physical and emotional exhaustion, burnout, lack of respect, and crushing administrative and oversight duties on top of clinical duties, loss of autonomy, and the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, complex employment contracts and noncompete covenants bind doctors and other healthcare personnel and have locked up the futures of many professionals. This guidebook responds to these complex issues with detailed contract guidance and practice tips to save you time, reduce errors, and improve employee satisfaction. The text explores how the system operates, and suggests how lawyers, human resource professionals, and hospital management teams can improve their outcomes through astute planning and careful drafting of agreements.
Healthcare Employment Practice includes:
- Step-by-step, term-by-term guidance on physician on physician employment contracts, with an emphasis on the problems presented by restrictive covenants, and a full sample Physician Employment Agreement (see Chapters 9 and 10 and Appendix B – fully updated for 2022)
- A fifty-state survey of noncompete statutes and selected case law (see Appendix A – fully updated for 2022);
- Labor and employment law as it affects healthcare industry employees (see Chapters 13-21);
- Issues presented by telemedicine (see Chapter 27);
- Stark and anti-kickback law compliance (see Chapter 26);
- Employment discrimination in healthcare: physician whistleblower, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims (see Chapter 22).
