Understanding medical staff bylaws
September 18, 2014
Medical staffs are discovering their governance documents are inadequate for today’s care environment. These trusted documents may now fail to provide clear guidance, be noncompliant with accreditation standards, or create liability for the hospital. However, a full bylaws review is time-consuming and futile without a clear understanding of the revision process or the purpose behind the bylaws.
Join us as Todd Sagin, MD, JD, presents Medical Staff Governance Documents: The Increasing Importance of Contemporary Bylaws, a webcast on Wednesday, October 29, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.
