Featured blog post: Physicians will report impaired peers, in theory

Physicians support the idea of reporting their impaired peers to the appropriate authorities, but they won’t always report when faced with those situations in real life, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Approximately 1,900 physicians participated in the study, “Physicians’ Perceptions, Preparedness for Reporting, and Experiences Related to Impaired and Incompetent Colleagues.”

Assessing the Competency of Low-Volume Practitioners:
The Joint Commission requires that hospitals verify physician competence using performance data. Yet organizations often have little or no data related to the competency of low- and no-volume physicians. Medical staff leaders are therefore challenged to develop a strategy that guides the hospital's relationship with low- and no-volume providers, and medical staff services departments are challenged to establish systems to verify physician competence. This fully updated book and CD-ROM set offers the necessary tools and strategies for medical staff leaders and professionals to manage the increasing number of low- and no-volume providers and comply with Joint Commission standards.
