This sounds like a no brainer, but seriously, physicians are running 100 miles an hour everyday. They do not always know the compliance rules related to Stark Law and the Anti-kickback Statute. So, if your hospital needs the physician to document work performed, make that process easy for the them. Provide a process that keeps the physician inside the lines with what they write. Not only is it difficult for you to read what physicians write on paper time logs, it is also super annoying for them to have to remember what is in their contract as they are logging their time.
