In many hospitals, the organization once known as the “voluntary medical staff” has shrunk to just a shadow of its former self. Does your hospital have any of these symptoms?

If the answer to any of the following questions is “yes,” maybe it’s time for a check-up.

Is most inpatient care provided by hospitalists who work shifts?
Is more and more care provided by APCs?
Is the largest category of “medical staff members” t for physicians who do nothing in the hospital?
Are meetings so poorly attended that your quorum is two?
Is the percentage of employed physicians on your medical staff 50% and growing?
Are the once volunteer activities like ED call, service as medical staff leaders and attendance at meetings now compensated by the hospital?
Are hospital-based services staffed by regional or national companies whose physicians aren’t available to perform medical staff duties?
Have you tried all those other bylaws remedies for low-volume practitioners, but they just haven’t done the trick?

Let’s talk.

You’re not alone. We have just the prescription: ideas and practical suggestions that will help you deal with these symptoms and restore your medical staff to vibrant good health.
