    How can a medical practice tweak its employment contracts with its physicians to make sure they fulfill their post-employment obligations?

    Group medical practices should take care to make sure that their employment agreements with their employed physicians take into account how to enforce post-contract obligations. For example, once an employed physician leaves a practice, he or she often has one or more continuing contractual obligations to the practice. One such obligation might be to simply return all confidential practice information that he or she has to the practice. Another obligation might be to provide tail malpractice insurance coverage to the practice to cover any acts or omissions of the physician to the practice. But how can a practice take steps to tweak their employment contracts to make sure they can enforce their rights against an employed physician who has left the practice? This podcast episode discusses some possible ways that a group practice can make some minor tweaks to the provisions of their employment agreements to help make it easier to enforce post-employment contract obligations that an employed physician has to the practice.
