The treatise’s authors, James T. O’Reilly, Director of the Concentration in Health Services Management at the UC College of Medicine, and Mary Ellen Keegan, former in-house counsel for GE’s Aviation Division who has since negotiated favorably for MDs in disputes with insurance companies and healthcare organizations, offer actionable practices gleaned from their experiences working with physicians and public health regulatory issues.

Featuring sample contractual clauses, this resource discusses how doctors, stakeholders, and their lawyers can leverage astute planning and careful drafting to overcome emerging employment and transactional issues. In addition, the authors include tailored discussions on regulatory and transactional issues unique to physicians, registered nurses, and non-credentialed healthcare employees.

Healthcare Employment Practice includes:

• Step-by-step, term-by-term guidance on physician employment contracts, with an emphasis on the problems presented by restrictive covenants, and a full sample Physician Employment Agreement (see Chapter 9, Chapter 10, and Appendix B);
• A fifty-state survey of noncompete statutes and selected case law (see Appendix A – fully updated for 2023);
• Labor and employment law as it affects healthcare industry employees in the areas of Collective Bargaining and Overtime Pay (see Chapter 14 and Chapter 19), Strikes and Lockouts (see Chapter 17), Safety Rules (see Chapter 20), and Conflict Resolution (see Chapter 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).
