title: Overhaul of staff is done 'right, not fast'.
abstract: If you're about to overhaul your entire ED physician staff, there's no need to rush. It's better to take your time and do things right, say the leaders at St. Joseph's Hospital in Buckhannon, WV. A goal was established that the transition would take about 6-7 months. Contract physicians and locum tenens staff were used during the transition to keep the ED running smoothly. The nurse and physician leader were available.
