Introduction

Beyond the Headlines on Sexual Harassment — What’s Different Now and What Should You Do About It?

January 23, 2018 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)

Grand Rounds 2018 Bonus Audio Conference

You’ve seen the headlines — revelations of sexual harassment are everywhere.  These headlines suggest that expectations have changed.  What may have been accepted — or overlooked — in the past will now be the subject of a sexual harassment investigation.  Are you ready?

Preventing sexual harassment — and effectively addressing it when it occurs — requires good policies and the tools, skills and will to implement those policies.

Topic:       Sexual Harassment

Faculty:   Barbara Blackmond and Phil Zarone

Date:         January 23, 2018

Issues that should be anticipated include:

• Should the medical staff or the hospital take the lead in investigating allegations of sexual harassment?
• Are collegial intervention and other informal warnings an appropriate response to sexual harassment?
• Should the name of the person who submitted a reported concern about sexual harassment and/or the details of the concern be disclosed to the individual under review?
• How can retaliation be prevented?
• How can “he said, she said” concerns be investigated where there are no witnesses to the alleged bad conduct?
• What happens to documentation if an allegation cannot be substantiated? What happens to such documentation – and the person who raised the concern – if the allegation is proven to be false?
• What happens if a consensual relationship leads to a concern about sexual harassment?
• Should a reported concern of sexual harassment by an office receptionist about her physician employer be reviewed at the hospital?

Join Barb Blackmond and Phil Zarone of Horty, Springer & Mattern as they provide guidance on these and other important issues.
