August 1, 2017 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)
FACULTY: Linda Haddad and Rachel Remaley
Join us: A key to excellent leadership is excellent learning!
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees.
If you have new members in any of these important positions, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for direct education that we guarantee will be helpful to them in their new roles.
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees. More and more, hospitals are getting serious about requiring professional conduct from all who work within their organizations.
But, without the right documents to support their efforts, Hospital and Medical Staff leaders can find themselves unclear about how to address matters of professional conduct without resorting to a formal investigation or “corrective action.”
- Are collegial interventions acceptable?
- What if the practitioner demands that he or she is entitled to a formal investigation and due process?
- What if the practitioner won’t cooperate or come to a meeting to discuss the leaders’ concerns?
- For that matter, what if the practitioner disagrees that his or her conduct was unprofessional?
- Is it enough that the leaders feel that the conduct is clearly and obviously outside the bounds of acceptable workplace behavior?
If these questions have sometimes stumped your leaders, please join us for this session addressing “must have” provisions for your Professionalism Policy.
