Retention tip: The physician feedback forum
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, September 9, 2008
Some physicians might consider leaving their job if they feel the hospital administration does not care about their needs or well-being. With the long-term goal of employee retention in mind, hospitals can implement a collaborative solution—a retention program. It doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. One way to jumpstart it is to implement a physician feedback forum, made up of both existing hospitalists on staff and new hires. Some tips for hospitalist practice leaders include the following suggestions:
- Schedule the feedback forum regularly
- Give fair and legitimate consideration to the feedback by acting on issues that have merit
- Consider a formal meeting or poll for groups of 20 or more physicians
A good mentoring program and a well-functioning feedback forum will be the backbone of an effective retention program.
The above is an adapted excerpt from Practical Guide to Hospitalist Recruitment and Retention by Kirk Mathews, foreword by John Nelson, MD, FACP, published by HCPro, Inc.
