Got assessment questions?

With the changing demographics of the hospital medical staff comes growing challenges. Now HCPro is offering a pair of resources to help you address these challenges. Next week you’ll have an opportunity to get answers to your questions about aging physicians, assessment, and fair policies. If you missed our popular webcast, Practicing Medicine Longer: Legal and Clinical Considerations for an Aging Physician Population, plan to tune in and hear the presentation by Elizabeth “Libby” Snelson, JD, and Stephen H. Miller, MD, MPH, on May 14 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern. A live question-and-answer session will follow the program. Click here to register for the webcast or for more information.

Also, mark your calendar for July 9 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern, when Todd Sagin, MD, JD, will present Assessing and Managing Clinically Suspect Practitioners: From Collegial Intervention to Corrective Action. Once physician leaders have collected and assessed information about physician competence, they often don't know what to do with it. What steps should they be taking with this information? This program will walk medical staff leaders through the steps of collegial intervention through corrective action and discuss how to do so while protecting patients, the physician, and the organization.

I hope you’ll tune in for both of these presentations.

Thanks for reading!
