Overview

Now in its tenth edition, The Law of Healthcare Administration explores the serious legal challenges that healthcare leaders must be equipped to deal with. This classic text helps readers think through the issues, applying current legal principles and relevant judicial decisions. Drawing on their practice and teaching backgrounds, authors Stuart Showalter and Sallie Thieme Sanford aim to provide an accurate, accessible, and engaging textbook that helps students understand the law's evolving, multifaceted role in the administration of healthcare entities. Like its predecessors, this edition provides a comprehensive overview of healthcare law, and its 15 chapters include substantial revisions and new material, including discussions of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health (the US Supreme Court's June 2022 decision that overturned the constitutional right to abortion), Biden-era Affordable Care Act (ACA) litigation and regulation, evolving antidiscrimination standards, the federal No Surprises Act, new fraud and abuse regulations, crisis standards of care, Good Samaritan overdose statutes, apology laws, and much more.
