Health Business Mediation

HCR offers mediation services for a wide variety of health care related disputes besides medical liability. And, for all the same good reasons: it's faster and less expensive than formal litigation, it protects the privacy of the parties, offers the best chance for reaching an outcome all parties can live with while preserving their relationship.

Mediation, and mediation techniques and approaches, can be particularly effective in resolving:

• Physician-hospital disputes, such as medical staff privileging, contract, and administrative disagreements
• Hospital-vendor disputes
• Physician-physician disputes and group practice problems
• Workplace conflicts and employment issues
• Clinical ethical issues
• Payor, including managed care, disputes
• Inter-departmental and other organizational conflicts.

HCR's panel of independent neutrals is available to assist physicians and other health care providers, health systems and hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, health insurers, managed care plans and other health related organizations resolve their conflicts through the private, cost effective informal mediation process.
