Abstract

We explore the influence of the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution on the enforceability of personal services contracts for physicians. This influence extends from the ambiguous definition to the legal interpretation of personal services contracts. The courts have struggled with determining contracts to be a personal service and whether to grant injunctions for continued performance. The award or denial of damages due to a breach of contract is vested in these enforceability complications. Because of the Thirteenth Amendment's influence, courts and contracting parties will continue to struggle with physician personal services contract enforceability; although other points of view may exist. Possible solutions are offered for health care contract managers dealing with challenges attributable to physician personal services contracts.

摘要

我们探讨了美国宪法第十三条修正案对医生个人服务合同可执行性的影响。这种影响从个人服务合同的模糊定义延伸到法律解释。法院一直在努力确定哪些合同属于个人服务合同，以及是否批准继续履行的禁令。因违反合同而判给或拒绝损害赔偿取决于这些可执行性方面的复杂情况。由于第十三条修正案的影响，法院和合同各方将继续在医生个人服务合同的可执行性问题上纠结；尽管可能存在其他观点。针对医疗保健合同管理人员应对医生个人服务合同带来的挑战，我们提供了可能的解决方案。
