Our older colleagues deserve to be treated with dignity. The best approach does so while enabling medical staff leaders to assure the governing board that both physicians and the patients they treat will be respected and protected from potential harm. This is a better approach than the damage control of yesteryear or the “bad apples” impairment evaluation approach that is used by many medical staffs today.
This blog post was written by Jon Burroughs, MD, MBA, CMSL, senior consultant with The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro, Inc. in Marblehead, MA. It originally appeared as a column in the September 23 edition of Medical Staff Leader Connection.
