Download or read book Malpractice and Liability in Psychiatry written by Peter Ash and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively educates psychiatrists about malpractice and other liability. It is written to also specifically assist psychiatrists who are sued or are involved in other complaints. The first two sections discuss malpractice law and the litigation process; the litigation section mainly addresses some of the more emotionally charged issues, including do’s and don’ts, how an attorney will be looking at the case, the defendant doctor’s testifying at deposition and trial, and the stress of being sued. The subsequent three sections address specific topics that give rise to liability, with each section taking a different perspective such as risks in particular clinical, by practice site, and special issues, including practice in special situations such as the current pandemic. The final section discusses other forms of liability, such as complaints to medical boards or professional association ethics committees. An exceptional work, Malpractice and Liability in Psychiatry, functions as both a go-to handbook and all-encompassing read on the aforementioned topics.

Download or read book Health Care Reform written by American Psychiatric Association and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2011 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was passed in March 2010, includes provisions to expand the scope of mental health care available to most Americans. What do psychiatrists need to know about the provisions of the health reform law to practice most effectively and best serve their patients? Health Care Reform: A Primer for Psychiatrists is a compilation of resources designed to educate psychiatrists and other mental health professionals about key elements of the reform law. At its core are three articles from a special section on health reform that appeared in the November 2010 issue of Psychiatric Services. Each article addresses a key question for the organization and financing of mental health and substance abuse care under health care reform: * How should states set up their health exchanges to ensure that the needs of people with mental illness are addressed?* Will coverage of mental health services be adequate under the law's provisions? * Can integration of mental and physical health care -- a particular focus of health reform -- improve the quality and efficiency of care for people with mental illness? This book also provides a list of additional readings, with links to the source documents. These include "backgrounder" articles published in Psychiatric News, analyses and commentaries from the American Journal of Psychiatry and Psychiatric Services, and white papers and other useful documents compiled by staff of the APA Department of Government Relations.

Download or read book Law in the Practice of Psychiatry written by Seymour L. Halleck and published by Springer. This book was released on 1980-07-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time only forensic psychiatrists had much to do with law and the legal system. Now, hardly a day passes in the life of a clinician without some significant encounter with the interface between the law and the practice of psychiatry. That interface extends all the way from the general regulation of clinical practice to the specifics of clinical man agement of individual patients. It includes, like the chapters of this book, such important topics as informed consent, right to treatment, privilege and confidentiality, patients' rights, competency, psychiatric testimony, malpractice, and liability. Dr. Halleck is one of the professions' most distinguished thinkers and authors in the field of psychiatry and law, and is this year's recipient of the coveted Isaac Ray Award of the American Psychiatric Association. Having spent his entire academic and professional life deeply involved in the clinical practice of psychiatry, he is particularly well suited to understand and respond to the clinician's need for a clear and concise elucidation of those areas of psychiatry and law which are involved in the daily work of psychiatrists and all mental health professionals.

Book excerpt: Because an increasing number of patients are covered through managed care plans, psychiatrists need to understand the managed care system in order to answer their patients' questions and ensure the continued prosperity of their practices. To assist clinicians in these challenging times, The Psychiatrist's Managed Care Primer arms psychiatrists with the information and tools they need to flourish within the managed care environment while simultaneously delivering quality patient care. This monograph provides an overview of the evolution of this industry; detailed explanations of current managed care models, operations, and anticipated trends; and practical advice on key problem areas. It focuses on the pressing issues of utilization management and capitation as well as important regulatory, ethical, and legal issues psychiatrists confront under this system. The potential impact that managed care systems have on their patient referrals, clinical decision-making autonomy, and income is also examined closely. Equipped with the sophisticated understanding of managed care supplied by this primer, psychiatrists can make the important decisions that will ensure the survival of their practice.
