An in-depth understanding of the state medical board’s operations, expectations and requirements are crucial for the effective management and governance of medical staff services and medical staff practices. Understanding the foundational elements of a medical board fosters a healthcare environment that prioritizes patient care and safety.

Medical Staff Services, MSPs and Medical Staff Leaders are responsible for aligning hospital standards and regulations set by the state medical board. Especially important is establishing robust communication channels between the hospital medical staff services and state medical boards for timely information exchange regarding licensure status, disciplinary actions and changes in regulations.

This presentation will discuss the foundational elements of a medical board and the important relationship between the board, Medical Staff Professionals and Leaders to ensure compliance and enhance patient safety.
