| A graduated discipline policy can boost procedural compliance |
| Busy physicians often focus on accomplishing particular goals, and, as a result, they may not always follow their organization's specific procedures to reach those goals. Yet, when physicians fail to adhere to established processes, it can create inefficiency, engender interpersonal squabbles, lower employee morale, and, ultimately, adversely affect patient care.
For their part, medical staff leaders face a challenging task-to ensure that physicians comply with the hospital and medical staff's rules and regulations. To be successful, leaders must communicate effectively, take a proportional approach to discipline, and promote physician growth and well-being. |
