Last week, we asked readers, “How does your medical staff tend to deal with practitioners with strong clinical skills who exhibit disruptive behavior?” Over 100 readers answered, and here are the results:

  • 68%--The medical staff takes behavioral evaluations as seriously as clinical evaluations, and exercises disruptive behavior policies as needed.
  • 28%--The medical staff has good disruptive behavior policies in place, but will only use them in extreme circumstances.
  • 5%--As long as the practitioner has good clinical skills, the medical staff doesn’t address other problems and does not have good disruptive behavior policies in place.
