Make applicants complete a malpractice analysis form

Today's free resource is a malpractice analysis form for medical staff applicants to complete. It is from The Medical Staff Office Manual.

The malpractice analysis form should be given out with your medical staff application. This form is used to help MSPs and physician leaders determine if claims are outside the norm and require further investigation. The questions/numbers on this form are just suggestions; you should adjust them to fit the specific needs of your organization. Just because an applicant might have a high settlement or numerous settlements, that does not mean you should automatically deny his or her application, but further review the specifics of the situation. It is also helpful to see if the applicant answers the questions truthfully compared to malpractice information the MSP may have found in the verification process.
