Join Dr. Andrew Tisser and guest Dr. Ronald Hirsch as they discuss what a Physician advisor is, its duties and responsibilities, and why it is an essential role in the hospital. Dr. Hirsch shares that a physician advisor determines the correct admission status for the patient so that the hospital gets paid for the care, the physicians get paid for the care, and the patients are in the correct status. From that, it grew into involving a whole bunch of other things.

In addition, they stand as case managers, especially in complex cases like disagreements between family members and physicians, where they act as a neutral body to read the chart and help the family understand what's happening. So, if you want to learn more about this fantastic career, tune in and enjoy!
