Prescreen candidates for employed physician positions
An effective prescreen process helps to ensure that nonviable candidates for employment never make it to first base. It also helps to minimize the risk of throwing open the door to due process if an application to the medical staff is offered and then denied after you have formally started to process it. Finally, while an executive champion might be required to jump start and work through the initial organizational roadblocks, once formulated, the prescreen becomes standard operating procedure among frontline staff.
The advantages of this foundational model is that it allows separate departments with different reporting structures to come together through clearly defined processes and policies that make clear who does what and when. It doesn’t just happen. It has to be consciously planned and designed. By working together, the organization can have a prescreen process for candidates that incorporates all of the information each department needs and makes sure no department is held up in the process. Today’s free resource is a checklist for this process.
