Modifying Practice for Age, Health, or Impairment
Physician impairment refers to situations in which practitioners are rendered unable to perform their professional responsibilities adequately because of a variety of health problems, including medical disease, psychiatric problems, or substance abuse (Physician Impairment by Substance Abuse, Medical Clinics Volume 81, Issue 4, Patrick G. O'Connor, MD, MPH, Anderson Spickard Jr, MD).
This is the first of a series of articles in which we will examine some of the major issues that organized medical staffs should consider when modifying practices to address practitioner age, health, and other potential impairment issues.
