Meet your toughest leadership challenge

Medical staff governance means more than drafting bylaws and amending policies. It can also require leaders to address colleagues' unprofessional behavior. Help with this thorny issue can be found in  Managing Problem Practitioners: A Leadership Guide to Dealing With Impaired, Disruptive, Aging, and Burned-Out Clinicians, by Todd Sagin, MD, JD. This book includes a wealth of advice and forms that can help with the process of documenting incidents, follow-up, and preventing future problems. Click here to see one of these forms, a customizable letter documenting collegial action.

Don’t get caught unprepared—reduce your lawsuit risk and keep your patients and clinicians out of harm’s way. More information about the book is available here.
