Program Overview Credentialing, informal remediation, procedural due process, impaired and disruptive physician behavior, committee processes and procedures, on call and EMTALA challenges, these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to day-to-day medical staff challenges. Today's medical staffs and the professionals who support medical staff functions are facing a multitude of complex issues, many of which present challenging questions to those involved without access to immediate solutions. Medical Staff Leadership 2010 is an educational program designed to address current challenges facing medical staff leadership and their support staff. Each session will present workable solutions for challenging circumstances. The series is designed to cover not only the hottest issues facing medical staffs, but also to address current issues in credentialing, corrective action and fair hearing processes. Approximately two weeks prior to each session, participants will be asked to submit questions to MSQuestions@bricker.com pertaining to the topic to be addressed. Speakers will then review all questions and address the most frequently asked questions as part of each presentation. Participants in this series will become better resources to medical staff, administration, and governing body leadership to assist in addressing and resolving these challenging ongoing and new issues.
