Medical Care Law

A legal reference for practicing physicians is a necessary adjunct to their professional practice library in today's highly regulated and litigious world.

Medical Care Law was written to help practicing physicians avoid legal conflicts, and to prevent legal problems rather than treat them.

Written with the practicing physician in mind, this book is also valuable to a variety of health professionals, including physician executives, medical directors, nurse administrators, advanced practice nurses, case managers, risk managers, legal nurse consultants, health care administrators, public health professionals, and attorneys.

In addition to the traditional legal issues affecting medical practitioners, Medical Care Law addresses the legal pitfalls in today's volatile health care landscape, including managed care, health care fraud and abuse, compliance plans, and working with non-physician providers.
