Medical Staff Best Practices in 2016: Peer review information sharing, credentialing, fair hearings & more!

Deadline to Register:  Tuesday, April 12, 2016

Hospitals and health systems across the country are actively working to transform themselves into patient-centered, value-focused and integrated providers that are recognized as market leaders in quality outcomes, cost control and patient experience. Critical to this effort is medical staff management that is efficient, streamlined, and receptive to clinical and administrative initiatives that strengthen health care operations and overall performance.  But an unavoidable challenge for health care organizations is the need to balance efficiency and innovation with existing regulatory requirements and other risk considerations.  In this context, this program will cover the “what you need to know” for several pressing medical staff issues in 2016.  The discussion will include analysis and best practices related to:

• Peer review information sharing across providers and health systems

• Credentialing (how to mitigate negligent credentialing risk)

• Dispute Resolution/Fair Hearings

• Dual existence of employed physicians and medical staff members

Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by the program from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m.  Special meal requests need to be received no later than Tuesday, April 12.
