How long does it take for the application to be reviewed by appropriate medical staff leaders and committees?
Please help us by taking this short survey. Results will be published on the blog and in other HCPro publications.

Poll question: Have your practitioners participated in a practitioner reentry program?
Occasionally, practitioners need additional education in a formal setting in order to meet privileging requirements. This may be due to a practitioner’s leave of absence or decision to come out of retirement that sparks a need for recent competency data.
We want to know if any of your medical staff members participated in such a program. See how your organization compares to others by taking the poll below.

Poll question: Has your medical staff ever held a meeting to resolve a privileging dispute?
One of the ways medical staffs can resolve privileging disputes between departments is to hold a meeting to discuss the issue. This can be a meeting where the medical executive committee listens to both departments presenting their cases, or it can take another format that is more inline with your medical staff’s culture.

Poll: Managing good clinicians with behavioral problems
It can be challenging for medical staffs to address issues that don’t have clear, black and white answers. For example, how would your medical staff respond to a practitioner who has excellent clinical skills but exhibits disruptive behavior? What if your medical staff had worked hard to recruit a practitioner, only to find out shortly thereafter that he had relapsed into chemical dependency? Obviously there are some clear regulatory standards that must be followed in these instances, but there are also ethical issues and concerns that each medical staff must address individually.
