Report Link Healthcare Update: hShort-Shift Differential Shortchanges Employees, Court Rules.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 06, 2008 Many healthcare employers adopt shift differentials to encourage staffing on unpopular shifts. For example, employers may reward employees who work unpopular shifts or perform unpopular tasks with extra pay in order to maintain adequate staffing levels and provide round-the-clock patient care. Employers are encouraged to devise creative, lawful solutions to staff all shifts and ensure all tasks attendant to patient care are performed. Report Link Health Law Update.Baker Hostetler LLP - May 05, 2008 Topics covered in this week's issue of the Health Law Update include: Foreign Nationals May Create Compliance Risks—Beware of Export Controls; Court Applies Academic Medical Center Exception to Stark Law; Executive Indicted for Lying to Government Regulators; Compensation to Employed Physicians Leads to False Claims Settlement; Florida Radiologist to Pay $7 Million to Settle False Claims Allegations Against Diagnostic Imaging Centers; OIG Anti-Kickback Evaluation Criteria. Report Link Eleventh Circuit Joins Growing List of Federal Courts to Reject the Medical Staff Peer Review Privilege in Federal Discrimination Cases.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - August 30, 2007 On June 12, 2007, in the case of Adkins v. Christie, 488 F.3d 1324 (11th Cir. 2007), the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that the medical staff peer review privilege does not apply in federal civil rights cases. As it becomes increasingly clear that federal courts will not recognize this privilege in discrimination cases, healthcare providers should be mindful that peer review records, which were once thought to be held under the strictest confidence, may now be subject to discovery and disclosure in future litigation.
