With respect to the latter\, Chris regularly counsels clients on matters involving medical staff credentialing and peer review\, as well as interpretation and application of hospital and professional licensure rules\, Medicare conditions of participation\, accreditation standards\, and medical staff governing documents. He is engaged by the firm’s clients to assist with the drafting and implementation of medical staff bylaws\, credentialing policies\, rules and regulations\, peer review sharing arrangements\, FPPE/OPPE processes and other medical staff policies and procedures. Peer review confidentiality and peer review immunity are critical to effective hospital and medical staff quality review. Chris frequently represents hospitals and other health care entities in the context of medical staff quality review and corrective action processes\, fair hearings and related litigation\, assisting these clients to maximize the intended benefit of peer review confidentiality and to achieve state and federal peer review immunity. \nAs part of his virtual care practice\, Chris regularly works with health care entities and providers throughout the country\, and also in other areas of the world\, to develop and implement virtual care programs. There is wide variability among jurisdictions in their approach to telehealth and telemedicine. Chris assists the firm’s clients to navigate this variability and to understand and appropriately apply the relevant telemedicine rules and regulations\, particularly those involving the professional practice of virtual care. These matters routinely involve professional licensure requirements\, delegated credentialing agreements\, scope of practice considerations\, informed consent for telemedicine services\, related recordkeeping requirements\, telemedicine prescription requirements and other aspects of virtual care workflow. Chris enjoys speaking at conferences and events throughout the year on aspects of virtual care\, particularly as the applicable regulatory framework continues to evolve in response to the wealth of potential made possible through telemedicine technology.

Dr. Mittal serves on editorial boards of scientific journals. He is a Fellow of American College of Cardiology and American College of Physicians. When he is not at work\, he enjoys traveling\, running and spending time with his family. \n  \n  \n \nDr. Weber was drawn to cardiothoracic surgery because of his fascination with the complexity of the human heart and lungs. He loves to help patients in challenging situations\, while understanding how difficult it can be for someone to hear that they need surgery. “I believe open communication with my patients is crucial to providing the best possible care.” This often means customizing operative plans tailored to each patient’s needs and expectations. \nWhen it comes to his patients\, Dr. Weber’s philosophy is simple\, yet powerful: “I’ve been privileged to treat patients who come from so many different backgrounds and life experiences. By listening to them and their families\, I have learned so much about their expectations and ultimately how best to treat and communicate with them.” He wants his patients to understand that he’s dedicated to their health and well-being. “I care about their medical condition but – possibly more importantly – I care about them as people.”
