The Responsible Professional Series™
The Responsible Physician
A father’s advice to his daughter, the doctor, on the business of medicine. The book explores consequential nonclinical decisions and the pressures that can cause good professionals to overlook a warning sign and lead to disastrous consequences under the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, and the False Claims Act for providers and others in the healthcare ecosystem. The book describes the "decision infrastructure" created by Mr. Eichberg which mitigates the risk of complex decisions in the healthcare eco-system. Mr. Eichberg has also created a software app which provides the means to execute this risk mitigation technique. Written without legal or medical jargon, the lessons are clear.
Why Can’t We Get Along? The Pieces Always Fit
This is a historical fiction novel tracing the interactions of three families over three generations that teaches that a person’s perspective determines his truth. A successful mediator must understand that and ascertain the perspective of each party in order to begin to find common ground. Eichberg & Associates applies this maxim in all of its clients’ transactions and mediations.
