Health care employers face a unique set of legal and operational challenges that generic HR templates cannot adequately address.
From corporate practice of medicine (CPOM) restrictions to complex physician compensation models, the rules governing health care employment relationships require in-depth knowledge and careful drafting.
Available on demand, this practical, risk-focused webinar helps health care employers—including hospitals, medical groups, and other health care entities—strengthen their employee handbooks, HR policies, and employment agreements. Panelists explore why health care workplaces demand a different approach, walk through the essential components of compliant handbooks and physician employment agreements, and address critical issues such as CPOM considerations, compensation structures, HIPAA obligations, restrictive covenants, and termination provisions.
Whether you're drafting a new physician agreement, updating your handbook, or simply want to ensure your current policies hold up under scrutiny, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to reduce risk and protect your organization.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding health care’s unique regulatory landscape, including CPOM restrictions, is essential before drafting or updating handbooks and agreements.
- Health care employers face compliance obligations that are distinct from other industries. Generic handbooks and employment policies optimized for non-health care businesses (e.g., financial or professional services) may create unnecessary risk. Health care employers need policies tailored to address licensure, credentialing, patient care obligations, and other industry-specific concerns.
- Physician employment agreements require specialized provisions. Compensation structures, exclusivity clauses, malpractice tail coverage, and restrictive covenants, as well as other key terms must be carefully negotiated and drafted to comply with CPOM, evolving non-compete bans, and other state laws that create rules specific to health care providers.
