Doing physician terminations right.
Few managers have the training or the expertise to terminate a physician. Some managers are uncomfortable with this process and may even subvert, delegate, or fumble the process. A properly performed termination will leave the physician with understanding of the termination and may assist in his or her development. A poor termination can cause ill effects not only with the involved physician, but also with the organization terminating the physician. Many physicians are leery of working for an organization that has the reputation of unfairly terminating physicians. They are also concerned with their job security. Potential legal ramifications make the process even more difficult.
