FACULTY: Paul Verardi and Phil Zarone
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. The “peer review” world is changing dramatically – and for the better!
Whether the issue is clinical quality, conduct, health, or utilization, it is possible to create an effective process that achieves the two major goals of peer review: patient safety and physician success.
This audio conference will focus on structure and information flow — who should be involved in the review process, their roles, and the tools they need to conduct effective and efficient reviews.
Listen live on June 6, 2017. Or, purchase the recording (mp3 or CD) of this audio conference to share with Medical Staff members at an upcoming meeting or throughout the year.
