AUDIOCONFERENCE ON TAPE OR CD
Sponsored by Medical Staff Briefing
presented on March 15, 2007
The Joint Commission requires the medical staff to gather peer recommendations when there is insufficient peer review data available to properly evaluate a medical staff applicant. The primary questions then become: "how can hospitals obtain this data from other hospitals?" and "how can hospitals disclose this data without opening themselves up to risk?"
