Medical staff bylaws: protecting hospitals' financial viability.
The failure of physicians to comply with Medicare's new standards or the hospital's existing standards may cause the hospital to suffer financial losses. Medical staff bylaws are a way physicians can be made to work with the hospital to ensure its viability. Therefore, financial managers must become familiar with these bylaws and ensure that financial and quality issues are addressed.
