Avoid lawsuits when denying privileges | When a physician is not granted requested privileges, he or she will often threaten to sue the hospital and its medical staff leaders for restraint of trade or violation of antitrust statues. This is especially true if the reason for not granting privileges is a privileging dispute with another specialty. All too often, such threats strike fear in medical staff leaders and lead to paralysis of action, which is precisely the intent of the person making the threat. |
Urologists have highest burnout rate | Fifty-four percent of urologists reported feeling burned out, the highest rate among all physician specialties, according to a recent Medscape survey. Neurologists were the second-highest specialty reporting burnout (50%), followed by nephrologists (49%). |
Working with past medical staff leaders | Don't overlook the benefits of turning to past medical staff leaders to help resolve conflicts. This pool of former medical staff leaders represents a wealth of talent and experience that should not be overlooked as a resource. |

CRC Member Exclusive | New Clinical Privilege White Paper: Nephrology | Nephrology is a subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney and urinary system diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, kidney inflammation, and kidney cancer. Causes of kidney failure include diabetes mellitus and polycystic kidney disease. In addition, kidney disease can lead to other serious conditions, such as hypertension. |
Breaking down the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute | Ensuring that patients receive quality care is the utmost priority for both physicians and MSPs. The federal government seeks to maintain this priority through the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute, both of which prohibit physicians from referring patients to entities where referring physicians have a financial interest, protecting patients from unnecessary health services. |
Dealing with leaves of absence | Physicians request leaves of absence for both personal and business reasons, such as overseas military assignments, extended education, parental leave, and health issues. Generally, medical staff bylaws allow a medical staff member to obtain, for good cause, a voluntary leave of absence. Keep reading to learn what policies, bylaws, and documentation your organization needs to have in place before physicians request a leave of absence. |
