IHA Dialogue on Discipline

This presentation addresses the different perspectives of two attorneys, one who principally represents hospitals and another who represents medical staffs, on the topics of best practices for imposing remedial measures and disciplinary action, what decisions are and are not reportable to the Data Bank, the Golden Rules of Peer Review and some recommended do's and don'ts relating to peer review activity. The materials also summarize new Illinois legislation which mandates new requirements before imposing a summary suspension and utilizing outside reviews as part of a peer review investigation.
