You are working as the manager of a multispecialty clinic. You have been notified that a patient has filed a lawsuit against one of your physicians who has terminated a relationship with a patient. Executive management has asked you to prepare a memo that should describe whether a patient can make a successful claim for a breach of contract in this case. 

In this 5–7-page memo, discuss whether the physician–patient relationship is a contract and what needs to be shown for a breach of contract to have occurred.

Approaches to consider:

·       Is a physician to patient relationship a contract? (Contract meaning something that is a promise that is enforced by law)

·       What needs to be shown for a breach of a said contract?

·       Can the patient make a successful claim for a breach of that said contract?

·       What is a contract and does the patient actually have a contract with a physician?

·       What has to be in place for a contract to be effective?

·       If a contract exists between the physician and patient, does it have to be a written contract?

(The first page can be the memo instead of a title page. Page requirement excludes the memo page and reference page; please see the attached memo as an example and utilize APA format.)
