About Christopher

Chris Eades provides consulting services in the areas of virtual care and medical staff governance. With respect to the latter, Chris consults on projects 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 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.

As part of his virtual care services, 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.

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.
