Engaging the Medical Staff

"There are three main reasons why hospital leaders need strong medical staff leaders as allies. First, medical staff leaders are more influential with their peers than managers are. Second, they serve as the leadership team’s main connection to frontline doctors. Finally, they provide essential advice and input on hospital initiatives to the organisation's management team."

A recent publication from The Advisory Board Company suggests from recent research that hospitals do not have a strong doctor engagement. You can read and learn how focusing on communication, leadership development, and staff enfranchisement can change the relationship you have with your doctors, and cement truly great medical staff engagement across your organisation.
