The book includes ten peer-reviewed chapters on core physician-centric legal topics: 1) Entrepreneurial Medicine (including fraud and abuse risk areas); 2) Physician-Hospital Contracting; 3) Medical Professional Liability; 4) Telemedicine; 5) HIPAA Compliance; 6) Accountable Care Organizations; 7) Doctors' Defense in Medical Staff Hearings and Appeals; 8) Physician Well-Being; 9) Medicare and Medicaid Contractors; and 10) Physician Employment Contracts from the Physician Perspective.

Physicians will especially benefit from the content that addresses a broad range of non-clinical topics that are currently transforming American healthcare. The chapters target issues that are not typically covered in most medically orientd volumes but nonetheless are critically important in the practice of medicine. Physician Law: Evolving Trends & Hot Topics is an excellent reference for clinicians and professionals who want to stay abreast of current legal and regulatory issues impacting their practice.
