Go beyond regulatory compliance

Bylaws must meet accreditation standards, state and federal regulations, and the needs of the hospital’s medical staff. The Guide to Medical Staff Bylaws offers tips for writing bylaws and actual sample language that complies with Joint Commission, DNV, HFAP, and/or CMS standards. Mary J. Hoppa, MD, MBA, offers guidance on implementing accreditor standards and advice on getting physicians to buy into the importance of following medical staff bylaws.

Ensure your bylaws meet accreditor’s standards and embody the culture of your medical staff. This book will help you:

• Create bylaws language that complies with CMS requirements
• Save time and cost of researching compliant language
• Identify sections of your bylaws in need of update or modification
• Assess and track bylaws compliance
• Ensure effective clinical governance by eliminating unnecessary and confusing language from the bylaws
• Gain practitioner buy-in to bylaws
