Schenck, Price, Smith & King LLP Partner Quoted In Healthcare Article
Daniel O. Carroll speaks on how to handle short term closings in medical practices.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) April 30, 2025 - Daniel O. Carroll, Partner at Schenck, Price, Smith & King LLP and Chair of Schenck Price's Health Care Law Department was featured in Part B News healthcare publication. The article, “Short-term closing? To-do list includes emails to patients, call to counsel”, outlines the steps medical practices should take during short-term closures, like accidents or power outages and stresses quick communication with staff, patients, insurers, and legal counsel, while ensuring safety, maintaining care continuity, and protecting patient data.
Carroll discussed the importance of involving legal counsel in preparing for sudden practice closures. Carroll recommends holding a conference to review the legal obligations and rights tied to key contracts such as leases, bank financing, EHR vendor agreements, billing services, and supply contracts.
Carroll also noted that building management issues may arise during such a legal review, suggesting that a practice check its lease to see if it “requires the landlord to repair or rebuild office space, or if relocation is a possibility. Additionally, reviewing the broader first-response protocol with legal counsel is strongly advised.”
John E. Ursin, Managing Partner of SPSK, said that the firm is fortunate to have an industry leader like Dan Carroll leading the Health Care Law practice. Ursin noted, “Dan’s department addresses the clients’ current issues, but also works to be proactive to better prepare clients for changes in the law, emerging trends and unexpected events. This is exactly the type of value added client service that distinguishes SPSK from other providers who are often simply reactive.”
