When making medical staff bylaws, it is important to meet relevant accreditation standards and regulatory requirements. Use the AMA Physician’s Guide to Medical Staff Organization Bylaws to help you create or make changes to your medical staff bylaws.
Physicians can learn how to draft and amend medical staff bylaws with this reference manual. The guide provides all the important elements that should be contained in any medical staff bylaws and includes many examples. The new edition has been updated to address codes of conduct, drug testing, physician-hospital compacts and much more.
Additionally, the new edition features practical guidance and sample bylaw language on many issues, including:
- Credentialing and privileging (learn more about the AMA’s role in credentialing)
- Corrective action
- Due process
- Quality assessment and improvement
Visit the AMA Store to learn more about the guide, which is free for AMA members. If you’re not a member, join today.
