Submitted By Anonymous, Created 10/18/2012 - 13:20
- Listen to physicians and understand their frustrations. Honestly respond to their concerns – even if it’s not possible to immediately resolve the issue.
- Determine what each physician values, then show them what the hospital offers that coincides with their values.
- Communicate openly and provide support when appropriate.
- Provide opportunities for leadership and professional development.
- Give physicians an opportunity to contribute ideas. Involve them in decision-making and clinical service planning. Let them know they’re being heard; and whenever possible, implement those ideas.
- Don’t waste time with unproductive meetings or activities, and avoid physician-only committees. Establish combined physician and administration workgroups.
- Maintain integrity and keep promises.
