Horty Springer: Effectively Evaluating Malpractice Actions and Other “Red Flags” in the Credentialing Process…Is it Time to Establish Written Guidance on Both?_Enduring
Two trends have emerged that are raising the bar for those performing this most important work:
- Identifying and formalizing the most common applicant “red flags” to be aware of in the credentialing process; and
- Developing a focused policy on how to evaluate the radioactive issue of malpractice actions and settlements, which has caused consternation for many Medical Staffs and their Boards for years.
Join Paul Verardi as he discusses the benefits of these trends, most notably, that they provide education and sophistication for all credentialers, improve consistency and standardize how these issues are addressed, and even minimize legal risks. Paul will also discuss specific examples of what various Medical Staffs have developed…or are in the process of developing…and how they are being utilized.
