Hospitals must formally document exclusive contracts, court ruling says
Although many healthcare organizations choose to inform their medical staff members about exclusive contracts as a matter of good communication, a recent court ruling has turned that best practice into legal precedent for Georgia hospitals. In March, the Fourth Division of the Court of Appeals of Georgia ruled in Madonna v. Satilla Health Services, Inc., that Georgia hospitals can enforce exclusive contracts, but they must define such provisions in medical staff bylaws and/or contracts with individual practitioners.
Invest in your career to maintain success
Just as one's life is filled with cycles of growth, challenges, and new opportunities, so is one's career. Most MSPs begin their careers on the same path: an intense period of learning followed by hard work and well-earned accomplishments. After that, the path to success diverges, and MSPs chart individual courses. Sometimes, those courses lead MSPs to take on a variety of roles within the medical staff services profession. Other times, MSPs choose to remain in the same role or facility while increasing their responsibilities.
Working with a temporary practitioner doesn't mean sacrificing consistency or quality
If your healthcare organization is looking to fill a short-term need, the solution may come in the form of a locum tenens. This temporary staffing solution allows the organization to provide its community with continuity of care while undergoing an internal period of transition. MSPs can help with this transition period by familiarizing themselves with the finer points of the locum tenens industry. Although your organization may follow a standard operating procedure when it comes to locum tenens, there are ways to improve efficiency and continuity.
