2Medical Staff Matters
- We empower medical staffs with knowledge and
expertise in areas like medical staff bylaws,
fair hearings, on call arrangements, conflicts of
interest, disruptive physician policies, anti
trust and EMTALA. In this era of growing
financial relationships between physicians and
hospital systems, it is exceptionally important
for medical staffs to be independently
represented and the interests of physician
members to be protected. -

worse, that you will be put under a Corporate
Integrity Agreement by the Office of Inspector
General. We provide what you need, including
detailed privacy and security forms, to maintain
compliance with the intricate and demanding
burdens of HIPAA. - Some services we have provided
in the past involve on-site HIPAA education,

procedure assessment and development, business
associate audits, minimum necessary assessments
and HIPAA security audits. From analysis, to
creation of policies and procedures, to
implementation, to monitoring, to enforcement, to
revision, we handle it all so that you dont have
to "roll the dice."
