Bulletproof bylaws: Maintaining the right to protect doctors — and patients
February 4th, 2008 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Before joining the medical staff at Lawnwood Regional Medical Center in Fort Pierce, Fla., pathologist Anil G. Desai, MD, spent two years sitting in on meetings to learn what goes into the bylaws that he says ultimately safeguard patient care.
“The capability, the knowledge and the expertise is with the physicians,” said Dr. Desai, who serves on Lawnwood’s medical executive committee and has been a medical staff member since 2001. The bylaws “are the only way you can take care of patient care independently. Who will be the advocate of the patient if the medical staff is not there?”
