What to do when your data point to a clinically suspect practitioner

Collecting and assessing information on physician competence are daunting tasks. But when physician leaders have this information, deciding what to do with it can be even more challenging. What steps should they be taking? Can they work with the physician to help him or her improve (collegial intervention) or should they suspend/limit the physician's privileges (corrective action)? Tune into our webcast Assessing and Managing Clinically Suspect Practitioners: From Collegial Intervention to Corrective Action, on July 9, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern for answers. Todd Sagin, JD, MD, will walk medical staff leaders through their options, from collegial intervention through corrective action, and discuss how to do so while protecting patients, the physician, and the organization.

After this program, participants will be able to:

• Identify why the change in demographics will eventually create an increase of issues with physician competency
• Comprehend the range of assessment tools for evaluating the competence of clinically suspect practitioners
• Understand the full range of disciplinary tools available to problem physicians
• Conduct peer review while minimizing legal liability
