Featured Content | When physicians and police work well together | Hospitals and law enforcement often have to work hand in glove. Many trauma centers and emergency departments have a police officer stationed on-site in response to injuries sustained in vehicular collisions, fights, or other instances where individuals are injured in a public setting. Police can be called in to the hospital when a patient or a family member grows violent. Law enforcement is also responsible for bringing in individuals seeking behavioral health/mental health assistance. |

CRC Member Exclusive | Termination of physician employment: Is it reportable? | Following a fair and thorough investigation, the medical staff in your hospital has determined a physician has clinical performance issues and has recommended a limitation in clinical privileges. Per the medical staff bylaws, a fair hearing process commences. If the hearing/appeal processes do not change the limitation of privileges, this is considered an “adverse action” and therefore must be reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), in accordance with the Healthcare Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (HCQIA). It’s a no-brainer, right? But in today’s hospital environment, not all scenarios are so clear-cut. |
