Representation before Professional Boards
If you have had a complaint lodged against you to a medical or nursing board, Joyce Stamp Lilly, R.N., J.D., can help during the investigation and at conferences or hearings. She will advocate for you from her unique perspective of a registered nurse and an experienced medical and nurse malpractice lawyer.
Ms. Lilly can assist you as a healthcare provider if you have been charged with a violation of the standards of your profession. Some common violations are:
-
Medication errors
-
Nursing assessment errors
-
Communication issues: misunderstandings of patients
-
Documentation errors
-
Misappropriated narcotics
It is vital to take alleged violations of a medical practice act or nursing practice act very seriously. If you ignore the charge, you can face formal charges and your license may be automatically taken away.
With a clear understanding of the medical culture, Attorney Lilly knows how to help you make your case. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing, where she is an Adjunct Instructor. Ms. Lilly worked in clinical settings as an RN in both in-patient and outpatient facilities, and has spoken about both nursing and legal issues to nurses and attorneys. She can advocate for a wide range of clients, including:
-
Registered Nurses
-
Licensed Vocational Nurses
-
Physicians
-
Physical Therapists
-
Physicians Assistants
As a healthcare provider, your specific practice act or professional association sets forth obligations with which you must comply. Anyone accused of violations must take those charges very seriously. Your professional board sees only the allegations that come into the agency from the public or healthcare facilities. When the board reviews a complaint, you have an opportunity to respond to the allegations and you should have an advocate who understands the law, the process, and the healthcare environment.
As an experienced registered nurse and medical malpractice lawyer, she can assist with responding to the investigation, she knows the pertinent documents to gather and review, and will advocate for you with your licensing board.
The board may not dismiss a complaint against you, but Ms. Lilly can assist in formulating an acceptable compromise.
