Tips for taking practitioners through collegial intervention and corrective action

With the changing demographics of the hospital medical staff comes growing challenges to collecting and assessing information on physician competence. Physician reentry, new procedures and technologies, low- and no-volume physicians, are just some of the issues medical staffs have to work through while properly ensuring their practitioners are competent. When physician leaders do have this information, they often don’t know what to do with it. What steps should they be taking with this information? Can they work with the physician to help them improve (collegial intervention) or should they suspend/limit the physician’s privileges (corrective action).
