Medical Staff Development
Medical Staff Development has taken on an outsized value in medical and healthcare delivery and planning.
​
To build service delivery models that respond to demographic mortality and morbidity factors of healthcare service areas, the medical staff must be integrated into the planning normally associated with facility scope and function and base technology. The assumption that physicians will come to fill stated needs is becoming a false expectation. Medical Staff Planning: recruitment, retention, work structures, and the like are now elemental to successful Healthcare design and delivery

Medical Staff Development begins with determining the type or types of physician integration, collaboration, and support that will most benefit your organization. Questions to ask must include a cost benefit analysis of different types of relationships, how different structures support clinical delivery and provide coverage levels for current and planned clinical initiatives.

Recruitment can follow various strategies. From external firms to internal staff, use of existing staff recommendations. However, the overarching issues are how many physicians are needed and or what specialties. Further, not just what is needed today, but also what will be needed at various points in the future.

Further what mix of newly minted and established physicians will best meet organizational and patient needs?

Medical Staff Retention
-
Practice Modeling
-
Individualized Incentives
-
Career Management
Physician retention has moved front and center on the overall list of Medical Staff Development issues. Retention used to be a one-size fits all set of "feel good" policies, but has recently been replaced by targeted benefits based on individual motivating factors.
Paramount to retention is medical practice design. That means matching physicians with patient types, diseases types, work loads, staff support and other factors to literally build each practice around each physician. Also, elemental to practice design is practice development and growth. Physicians change as they age, and the practice that fit when they were 30 years old likely will not fit the same physician at 55. For optimal retention outcomes, Practice Modeling is an ongoing process that follows a physician throughout his/her career.
