Sometimes hospitals fall for a complicated re-do of medical staff documents that falls apart after the consultants leave the building. Or the medical staff bylaws have developed into a patchwork quilt of quick-fix additions created to respond to a plan of correction or accreditation survey report. Even updated bylaws can be improved by isolating processes to expose inefficiencies and inconsistencies.
This webinar will present case studies of basic medical staff operations made unduly complicated by clumsy medical staff bylaws, and how medical staff bylaws can be corrected to work better for the medical staff-while still complying with state and federal law and regulation, and Joint Commission accreditation standards.
Areas Covered
- Case studies on streamlining to improve medical staff operations
- Demystifying Joint Commission requirements for medical staff bylaws
- The safe, careful, clear peer-review process made possible
Course Level - All
Who Should Attend
Medical Staff President/Chief of Staff, Bylaws Committee, Credentialing Committee, Chief Medical Officer, Vice President of Medical Affairs, Chief of Staff, Director of Medical Staff, Medical Staff Attorney, Hospital Counsel, Medical Staff Manager, Credentialing Specialist, Human Resources professionals.
Why Should You Attend
Medical staff bylaws create problems unnecessarily. Streamlining amendment, election, organizational and other processes-while still complying with state and federal law and regulations, and with Joint Commission accreditation standards-saves time, money, and frustration.
