Upcoming Physician Webinar: The Power of Partnership: Organized Medical Staffs and Hospital Boards – Driving Organizational Success

This presentation will explore the intricate dynamics between the Organized Medical Staff and the Hospital Board. We will delve into:

• Understanding the Governance Structure: Examine common organizational structures and their implications for effective collaboration.
• Navigating Regulatory Compliance: Explore how governance structure aligns with regulatory compliance.
• Building a Strong Partnership: Discover strategies for fostering effective communication, shared goals, and mutual respect.

Best practices such as the use of a Board subcommittee dedicated to quality and credentialing and The Joint Conference Committee will be reviewed. Common challenges and problem areas will be explored such as stakeholders’ roles in situations requiring corrective action, participation in the strategic planning process and its subsequent implementation, legal obligations, nature of physician representation on the Board, and responsibilities when State Medical Boards or the Federal Office of the Inspector General (OIG) become involved.

By attending this session, you will gain valuable insights into the critical role of the Organized Medical Staff-Hospital Board relationship in driving organizational success and ensuring high-quality patient care.
