The orientation of new medical staff members usually falls to the medical staff professionals, but leveraging the medical staff advisor, a seasoned physician who is cutting back on his or her practice or retiring, sends the message that orientation is important. That a fellow physician has taken the time to explain not only where the parking lot is located and where to get a free lunch, but also how to use the electronic medical record, starts the new physician’s tenure on the right foot. The medical staff advisor can explain various topics and provide useful information, including:
- The culture of peer review
- Steps for accessing medical staff leadership and administration
- The use of clinical care coordinators and coding specialists
- Financial contract information (what contracts the hospital has in place)
- Current formulary information and staff rosters can all be given to the new physician
- A tour of the facility, including introductions to both nursing and medical staff
