December 5, 2017 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)
FACULTY: Nick Calabrese and Ian Donaldson
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. Do you dread taking minutes at committee meetings because you take notes on everything that is said, and always end up with writer’s cramp?
Do you live in fear of picking up the phone, nervous that it might be Dr. Smith, demanding that he be allowed to see his entire credentials file, and that he’ll be down in five minutes?
Do you lie awake at night worried that, by giving the hospital-owned physician group information on Dr. Jones, you have blown through all the peer review protections?
Join us for Policies on Confidentiality and Access to Peer Review Files where we try and put your worries to rest!
