And we represent acupuncturists (L.Ac.) and athletic trainers.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas and Missouri Boards of Nursing.<\/strong><\/em> We represent all nurses governed by the Kansas Board of Nursing, including licensed practical nurses (LPN), registered nurses (RN), advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), certified nurse midwives (CNM), and certified nurse anesthetists (CRNA).<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas Dental Board<\/strong><\/em><em>. <\/em>We represent dentists and dental hygienists.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board and the Missouri Mental Health Committees. <\/strong><\/em>We represent psychologists, master\u2019s level psychologists, and clinical psychotherapists as well as social workers, marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, and addiction counselors.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas Board of Pharmacy.<\/strong><\/em> We represent pharmacists and pharmacy technicians as well as pharmacies.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas Board of Emergency Medical Services<\/strong><\/em><em>. <\/em>We represent emergency medical responders (EMRs), emergency medical technicians (EMTs), advanced emergency medical technicians (AEMTs), and paramedics (MICTs).<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services.<\/strong><\/em> We represent certified nurse aides, certified medication aides, and home health aides as well as nursing homes, home plus facilities, and long term care facilities\u2019 operators and administrators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Topeka Licensing, Discipline, Peer Review, and Staff Privileging<\/h2>\n<p>JHC provides healthcare licensure defense at every step of your career\u2014from initial licensing to peer review and staff privileging. If you ever face disciplinary action against your license, we handle that too. Our Topeka healthcare licensure defense lawyers are zealous advocates before regulatory boards and your steadfast counselors regarding issues with the medical facilities where you work.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>License Application Attorneys<\/h2>\n<p>Denial of your Kansas license application can have reverberating effects\u2014potentially impairing licensing in other jurisdictions as well. If you know you have sensitive issues to address, JHC\u2019s Topeka healthcare license attorneys can assist during the application process. We can advise you regarding your regulatory board\u2019s expectations and devise actionable solutions to many problems. If your board has taken your application under review, let us be your representatives for the remainder of the process. Let us help you put yourself in the best position for a favorable outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>Attorneys for Healthcare Professional Disciplinary Proceedings<\/h2>\n<p>At JHC, we regularly defend Kansas healthcare professionals during formal disciplinary proceedings against their licenses. With a goal of avoiding or mitigating sanctions, we assist during the investigation of complaints all the way through the formal hearing. Because our Topeka healthcare license defense lawyers have defended healthcare professionals for decades, we have developed tried and true strategies for these cases. But we know that every case and every client is unique, so we are always committed to learning the particular facts of your case, discussing your needs and goals, and developing a custom defense plan that works just for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Attorneys for Provider Assistance Program Referrals<\/h2>\n<p>Kansas law provides that a report relating to a healthcare provider\u2019s inability to practice with reasonable skill and safety due to impairment (including physical or mental disabilities, loss of motor skill, or substance abuse) may be referred to provider assistance or provider wellbeing committee. With reasonable cause to believe you are impaired, your licensing board may require an evaluation and treatment. Sometimes, referrals are made at the application stage based on prior history (think: DUI from before you entered medical school). JHC\u2019s Topeka healthcare licensure defense lawyers are well versed on the process and able to assist with all related issues.<\/p>\n<h2>Attorneys for Peer Review Proceedings<\/h2>\n<p>Peer review proceedings can be triggered by concerns about patient care and fitness to practice. Regardless of how your peer review procedure comes about, it should be taken very seriously. Adverse findings can result not only in loss of privileges at the particular healthcare facility, but it can have the snowball effect of impacting your privileges at other facilities, insurance provider credentialing, and result in collateral discipline against your license. \u00a0Many providers hold licenses in more than one state, which further impacts the snowball effect. JHC\u2019s Topeka peer review attorneys regularly advise clients regarding peer review issues. To ensure you receive due process, consult with JHC\u2019s Topeka peer review lawyers.<\/p>\n<h2>Staff Privileging<\/h2>\n<p>When seeking privileges at healthcare facilities you may be subjected to credentialing proceedings. You might also find yourself faced with credentialing proceedings putting the scope or entirety of your existing privileges into jeopardy. Having an attorney help you navigate that credentialing processes can be advantageous. The Topeka healthcare licensure defense lawyers\u00a0at JHC know how important your hospital affiliations and staff privileges are to your practice. If you are at risk of having your privileges denied, suspended, or terminated, we can help. We provide representation during the fair hearing and formal appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Joseph, Hollander &amp; Craft, we appreciate and respect the Kansas healthcare professionals who have devoted themselves to the service of patients in need.
