A physician looks at board-medical staff relationships. 1979

W B Blanton

The hospital that thrives in the short run and survives in the long run is the one that best exploits the forces that tend to unite the board and the medical staff while minimizing the elements that tend to divide them. A strong, effective medical staff is the most important determinant of constructive board-medical staff relations.
