Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- describe hospital responsibilities for credentialing nonphysician staff in the hospital
- describe minimum requirements for medical staff bylaws, rules, regulations and governing body oversight
- describe the governing board's responsibilities and specific responsibilities for patient rights, quality improvement, and medical staff credentialing
