The Impact of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
What has been your experience with defensive medicine?
I have actually had my orthopedic surgeon (very good) tell me that prior to operating he must do several other things for insurance purposes.
Once the other "procedures" were attempted and he had data on them, he could proceed with surgery if needed.
2) The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
What does "standard of care" mean and why is it important? What is an exception to the statute of limitations? Why do you need a thorough understanding of the law as it impacts your employer's practice?
