During the Medical Staff Applications: Pink Flags versus Red Flags session, Carol Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS, and an attendee discussed how an average peer reference could be a pink flag. Attendee: We had a doctor who had just come out of a fellowship and he had four peer references. Three were good and one program director said he was average. When we called him, he said, “Well of course he is average. He just came out of training.” Cairns: What is the key there? You CALLED the reference to follow up why he rated the fellow as average. |
