After the passage of unbalanced liability reforms last year, this legislation seeks to reduce the direct and indirect costs in New York’s liability adjudication system. It aims to reduce the filing of meritless claims and begins to turn the tide on defensive medicine and exorbitant insurance premiums.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Lawsuits can take an average of 3.5 years to close from the time it is indexed, and the costs to defend these cases significantly add to the already astronomical cost of medical liability insurance in New York.

  • Guidelines for the Storage and Use of Emergency Inhalers and Epi-Pens
    Guidelines for the Storage and Use of Emergency Inhalers and Epi-Pens The Athletic Trainers Section of the Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainer Board receives many questions about the use and storage of inhalers and epi-pens that are not prescribed to a specific individual. The answer to the question differs based on setting. Due to ORC 3313.7110, Procurement of epinephrine auto-injectors by schools and camps, went into effect April 2014, which allows public and nonpublic K-12 schools to obtain and use epi-pens in emergency situations with a prescriber issued protocol. Please reference the Guidance document from the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy which can be found at the following link to guide your policy development related to obtaining, storing, and using an epipen in an emergency situation. http://pharmacy.ohio.gov/Documents/Pubs/Special/DangerousDrugs/Procurement%20of%20Epinephrine%20Autoi njectors%20by%20Schools%20and%20Camps.pdf However, if you work in any other setting pursuant to the Pharmacy Board’s laws and rules, athletic trainers, may legally hold specifically prescribed inhalers and epi-pens for an athlete to use when needed, in accordance with established protocols for use of such emergency medications. Athletic training facilities are prohibited to store and use emergency inhalers and/or epi-pens that are not specifically prescribed to an individual unless the athletic training facility holds a Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs license from the Pharmacy Board. If the facility does hold a Terminal Distributor license, the athletic trainer must still follow the established protocols for use of such emergency medications.

AMA Advocacy Resource Center—Physician-led health care teams Page 3 Return to table of contents Physician-led health care teams: Identifying the problem and providing a solution The problem This country faces a growing health care work force problem. The nation is experiencing shortages of both physicians and nurses. At the same time, there is increasing demand for primary care. There are solutions for addressing these work force shortages and primary care needs, including loan forgiveness programs, increasing the number of residency slots and taking steps to improve reimbursement for primary care services. While these solutions are longer term, there are also steps that can be taken in the short term. Some have argued that nurse practitioners (NPs)—one type of APRN—should be granted authority to practice independently from physicians as a means to address primary care needs. These arguments come at a time when health care delivery and payment models are heading in the opposite direction. New models of care delivery, including accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, require integration and teamwork among providers to improve health care outcomes and reduce health care costs.
