Introduction

Oh Where, Oh Where Has the Medical Staff Gone?

March 6, 2018 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)

 

The TJC survey did not go as smoothly as hoped.  Two major deficiencies were related to the ancient and awkward medical staff bylaws and the dearth of evidence that the MEC met or acted on a regular basis.

No one on the medical staff has any interest in the bylaws and even less interest in attending a meeting to amend them.   The Medical Staff president said he calls meetings on an as-needed basis.  There hasn’t been a need in recent months. Now what?

Topic:          Can This Medical Staff, Any Medical Staff, Be Saved?

Designed to be informative for any medical staff member, Grand Rounds 2018 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.
