Oregon ER Doctors Block National Staffing Firm in Eugene Under New State Law
3 articles · Updated · NPR · Jul 3
Summary
Eugene emergency-room doctors successfully used a new Oregon law to stop a national physician staffing firm from replacing them, marking an early test of the statute.
The dispute centered on the firm's effort to take over local ER staffing, prompting doctors to invoke the law as a shield against outside replacement.
Their win is drawing attention beyond Oregon as other states weigh similar measures aimed at limiting national staffing companies' leverage over local physicians.
