Letter In Response to Tips to Avoid Being Sued

Dear Drs. Galik and Stefanacci, AMDA — The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine has been a strong proponent of team-based care for older adults. The Society has supported collaborative relationships among attending physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) in long-term care facilities, advocated for voting membership in the Society for NPs and PAs, has NPs on both the board of directors and the Foundation board of directors, and has included them as members of the numerous working committees (e.g., Education, Conference).
