Undertaking a bylaws review
One benefit of well-written
bylaws—like any good
contract or compact—
is that they provide clear
guidance to all parties
that must operate in
compliance with them.

Responsibility for the bylaws review
Finding the right balance
between keeping what is
valuable from the past and
incorporating new best
practices is one of the
greatest challenges in
any bylaws rewrite.

Bylaws decision points
Determining the appropriate number of medical staff committees
Because the task of finding,
educating, training, and
retaining excellent medical
staff leaders is becoming
increasingly important,
some medical staffs are
now establishing an
ongoing leadership and
succession committee.

Although the medical staff
must play a role in a wide
variety of hospital functions
... it need not manage a
long list of committees to
serve those purposes.

What should be in the bylaws?
A battle continues to rage
over what should be kept in
the bylaws and what can
be kept in associated
manuals and policies.

Enable the creation of new bylaws
Conclusion
Careful vetting of current
bylaws and thoughtful
rewriting or reorganizing are
only the first steps along the
path to developing new
medical staff governing
documents. The next
challenge is overcoming
resistance to change.
