Like seasoned harbor pilots navigating tugboats through natural and manmade hazards, physician advisors each day face the daunting task of guiding their hospitals through a labyrinth of Medicare rules and regulations.
Reporting on those conditions during the next edition of Monitor Mondays will be the vice chair of the recently concluded national conference of the American College of Physician Advisors, Stephanie Van Zandt. In that role, Dr. Van Zandt had a front-row seat to the history-making conference that concluded Thursday in Coronado, Calif. Dr. Van Zandt is expected to report on the key Medicare policy issues that continue to define the role of physician advisors.
