The Disruptive Practitioner: A Danger to the Hospital's Operation

This course will train hospital executives, medical staff officers, peer review committee members and support staff on how to deal effectively with disruptive practitioners. Participants will also learn how to prepare for the day when it becomes necessary to terminate such a practitioner’s privileges and medical staff membership.

The webinar will offer an understanding on how to develop provisions in the medical staff bylaws to deal with a disruptive practitioner and how to develop a clear and concise policy regarding disruptive behavior. It will discuss the elements of an effective policy and the actions that should be taken to develop progressive discipline and/or sanctions that should be taken before taking action under the corrective action procedures.
