Physician Liaisons and their Role in Issue Management

Darla Seehafer, Lead Client Strategist, Physicianology
Tea Leaves Health - Regional Meeting Sponsor

Physician liaisons wear many hats, but most spend the majority of their time managing physicians' issues. Physicianology allows you to identify and document pain points or difficulties for your referring physicians. It is important to document these issues so you have solid data that can be tracked all the way through to issue resolution. Having issue management as part of your PRM program allows you to identify areas of improvement and solve problems for your providers. It helps you decipher whether issues are IT-related, patient care-related, or something else entirely. It lets you pinpoint problems more easily so you can develop better solutions. If you successfully manage their issues to resolution, referring physicians will feel as though their input was heard and acted upon. Attend this session to learn the importance of issue management and resolution.

This session will provide a brief overview of the prohibition on physician self-referral law, commonly known as the Stark Law. The session will guide attendees through how to spot potential areas of concern under the Stark Law as well as the different options that may be available to protect certain financial relationships, including the non-monetary compensation and medical staff incidental benefits exceptions under the Stark Law, and fraud and abuse waivers applicable to certain accountable care organization arrangements. Instructive examples will be used to reinforce key concepts that attendees should be aware of with respect to the Stark Law.
