Sharing more information

 The latest issue of Medical Staff Briefing is here, and if there’s a common theme throughout, it’s information sharing—what to share, how to share it, and when. The lead-off Q&A with Karen Beem of the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) sheds light on HFAP’s new standards for OPPE and FPPE. Inside the newsletter, guest contributor Anne Roberts describes what MSPs need to do to keep disclosure and consent consistent while safeguarding patients. This issue also looks at the nuances of privileging physicians for new technology (new policies may be required), and ways to combat physician apathy. After all, if 20% of your medical staff leadership is doing 80% of the work, it might be time to get creative with incentives and recognition.

Check it out! And as always, thanks for reading.
