Physician Recruitment Policy Development
The increasingly rigorous regulatory environment also means that it is crucial for hospitals to design and adhere to well thought out and documented physician recruitment policies. The physician recruitment policy provides definition to the legal, financial and operational parameters of a hospital's physician alignment strategy. It does this by:
- Documenting physician recruitment policies and procedures for legal and regulatory compliance;
- Creating consistency of communication and implementation within hospital management and across multiple hospitals in a health system;
- Facilitating individual physician recruitment decisions; and
- Creating clear and consistently defined incentives for use in the recruitment process.
