Program Description
Few issues are as challenging for hospitals and their medical staffs as those raised by disruptive practitioner complaints.
The 2009 Joint Commission standards for hospitals include a new Standard LD.03.01.01, which requires hospital leadership to evaluate the culture of safety and quality regularly, to have a code of conduct that defines acceptable, disruptive, and inappropriate behaviors and to create and implement a process for managing disruptive and inappropriate behaviors.
This experienced panel will provide timely, practical advice on issues raised by the new standard, how it affects peer review processes, and options for hospital counsel to consider in order to deal effectively with disruptive behavior. Whether you represent hospitals, medical staffs or practitioners, you won’t want to miss this timely and important teleconference.
