Horty Springer: Medical Staff Documentation: How to Keep It Confidential!_Enduring

Do you dread taking minutes at committee meetings because you take notes on everything that is said, and always end up with writer’s cramp? Do you live in fear of picking up the phone, nervous that it might be Dr. Smith, demanding that he be allowed to see his entire credentials file, and that he’ll be down in five minutes? Do you lie awake at night worried that, by giving the hospital-owned physician group information on Dr. Jones, you have blown through all the peer review protections?
