A2 - Beriwal, Sushil PY - 2022 T2 - Understanding the Principles and Practice of Legal Oncology AB - Oncologists can run afoul of the law when conducting quality improvement projects in three different scenarios. The first is in the setting of a quality review related to patient care. Many states have enacted immunity statutes for quality improvement review, and Congress has enacted the Health Care Quality Improvement Act, where most of the litigation in this subject has been focused. The second is if a quality improvement study becomes a research project, encroaching on a patient’s self-determination and well-being. Finally, the third is in the context of payment for quality improvement, where the quality improvement study is linked to increased payment for clinical services.
