Medical staff bylaws/rules and regulations are legally binding expectations between the organized medical staff and the governing board. This includes the medical staff’s roles and responsibilities and what the board requires of them.

Many bylaws are not in compliance with legal, regulatory, and accreditation requirements and don’t reflect contemporary challenges that most organizations face with regard to integration and alignment strategies, privileging low volume/no volume practitioners, and addressing challenging privileging issues to name a few.

When our experts provide an assessment, update, and re-design of your bylaws/rules and regulations, it is an opportunity for the medical staff, board, and management to re-visit strategic challenges together and to address them anew in an updated document that meets full regulatory and accreditation compliance while optimizing patient care and physician-hospital relations.
