ED physicians group ousted, sues--power struggle with CEO blamed.
Serious contract problems with administration should never come as a surprise. The ED manager who is part of a physicians group should communicate regularly with key audiences within the hospital, and keep an ear to the ground for potential issues. Have routine meetings with senior administration, and work to gain a seat on the hospital's executive committee. Participate in community activities with hospital leadership, including family activities. Work to develop a professional working relationship with the nurse manager.
