Topics: 
Early efforts can help you to make the most of your leadership term. If you’ve recently assumed 
a new role, the first 31 days can be vital. Topics to be covered during this installment of Grand 
Rounds include: 

  • Which Hospital and Medical Staff policies should you read, front to back, to prepare 
  • for this role? 
  • Identifying internal resources that are available to you throughout your leadership term (and understanding when you can – or should – call on them) 
  • What can you learn from your MSSP? 
  • Did your leadership positions come with a “welcome letter”? Learn what should be included in such a letter – and why tenured leaders tell us they like them so much 
  • How to set and stick to an agenda 
  • Running a meeting that does not waste people’s time 
  • Keeping meeting minutes 
  • Authority and accountability for follow-up between meetings 
  • Reaching out to your constituents (e.g. keeping key Medical Staff members informed and involved in the leadership’s activities through routine communication)
