PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY

HEALTH LAW: REGULATORY

In today’s healthcare environment, providers must be vigilant in complying with changing legal requirements and government regulations. With so many issues to keep abreast of, all types of healthcare providers require expert advice and counsel to not only succeed, but to also avoid regulatory pitfalls that can have a devastating effect on their ability to continue in their profession. The attorneys in the health law regulatory group at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek provide that expertise and are recognized authorities, providing a sound perspective and creating a partnership with clients to help them achieve their goals. Our client roster includes, but is not limited to, hospitals, physician groups, pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists, home health agencies and diagnostic and treatment centers.

HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE PROFESSIONALS

A professional is a worker required to possess a large body of knowledge derived from extensive academic study (usually tertiary), with the training almost always formalized.

Obstetricians is the surgical speciality dealing with the care of a woman and her offspring during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (the period shortly after birth). Midwifery is the non-medical equivalent. Most obstetricians are also gynaecologists

Gynaecology refers to the surgical specialty dealing with health of the female reproductive system (uterus, vagina and ovaries). Literally, outside medicine, it means "the science of women"

Ophthalmologist is more restricted and implies a medically trained surgical specialist. Since ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are generally categorized as surgeons.

Neurologists are trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat, neurological disorders. Pediatric neurologists treat neurological disease in children. Neurologists may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, as well as basic research and translational research. In the United Kingdom, contributions to the field of neurology stem from various professions; saliently, several biomedical research scientists are choosing to specialize in the technical/laboratory aspects of one of neurology’s subdisciplines.

Psychiatrist (also archaically called an alienist) is a physician who specializes in psychiatry and is certified in treating mental disorders.
