The situation is all too familiar. The
hospital is in dire need of another orthopedic surgeon, general
surgeon, or obstetrician. The recruiter found a candidate
who can start right away. You put together an attractive
recruitment package. The recruit is ready to sign. Life is
good.
But wait. Did anyone check out the recruit's credentials?
Did you consider why he is willing to move half way across
the country mid-career? Do you know why she has not practiced
in a hospital for the last three years? How do you reconcile
the applicant's 10 wrong site surgeries with your expectations
for good quality care?
Before this recruitment nightmare becomes your reality,
consider the following questions:
- When do you query the Data Bank?
- When
should telephone calls be made to training programs,
past department chairpersons, past employers?
- Should temporary
privileges be granted?
- What are the telltale signs of a
difficult future with a new recruit?
- What terms and conditions
should be built into the recruitment agreement?
- Should
you address the physician's clinical privileges
in the recruitment agreement?
- What are the hospital's existing contractual
obligations, exclusive or otherwise?
- What are the consequences
for painting too rosy a picture for the new recruit?
