Drafting a sound physician employment agreement.
Group practices that employ physicians on a contractual basis face a number of risks. Among these risks are the possibility of employee-physicians engaging in competitive activities; the practice's potential liability for outside services its physicians may perform; and the possibility of breaches of patient and practice confidentiality. By drafting employment agreements that include provisions that minimize such risks, practices can strengthen their market position and protect themselves from potential losses.
