    Main Line Health Physician Restructuring the MLH/Jefferson partnership Surviving Sepsis: The future of Hepatology: SUMMER 2014 ED success moves health care at From Hep C to Inside: to inpatient Exton Square Mall transplant care Main Line Health Physician Medical staff education initiative BY ANGUS GILLIS, MD The Main Line Health medical staff structure is an integrated model that encompasses private practice MESSAGES | 2 physicians who are on staff, hospital-employed physicians, and physicians/physician groups who are under contract for provision of services to the Hospital System. Medical staff functions have traditionally included initial credentialing, reappointment, and approval of privileges for new procedures. Tools used to fulfill these tasks include focused and ongoing professional practice evaluation (FPPE and OPPE). The staff is responsible for peer review, including case study and quality concerns. By-law and policy issues such as investigations, interventions, confidentiality, and physician rights are also areas in which the medical staff is involved. The staff has administrative functions related to patient safety, infection control, pharmacy and therapeutics, medical records, and behavioral issues like disruptive behavior and practitioner health. This is only a partial list of the responsibilities of the medical staff. Ultimate responsibility for approval and implementation of any recommendations by the staff’s Medical Executive Committee lies with the Board of Main Line Health. In addition to the above functions, the medical staff also takes an active role in continuing medical education. Your medical staff dues have always funded clinical educational efforts, such as Grand Rounds, at our various locations. A new additional effort is the Medical Executive Committee’s budgeting of dedicated monies for physician education, which will enable members to carry out these medical staff responsibilities.

  • Pennsylvania Health Professionals Call for an Investigation Into the PA Department of Health's Response to Fracking Complaints
    Pennsylvania Health Professionals Call for an Investigation into the PA Department of Health's Response to Fracking Complaints Dear Elected Officials, As Pennsylvania nurses, doctors and other health professionals we are very concerned about the recent allegations that the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DoH) is obstructing attempts to investigate and remedy potential impacts from shale gas drilling in the Commonwealth. The Department of Health created a unique list of “buzzwords such as fracking, Marcellus Shale, and drilling, to guide any complaint from the public. Department of Health staff were specifically instructed not to respond to people who contacted them regarding health concerns related to the state’s unconventional natural gas extraction (or fracking). Instead, Department of Health employees were to refer these complaints to the Department’s Bureau of Epidemiology—different from any other health claim. This practice could have limited the Department’s professional staff from accurately monitoring and responding to health problems related to our state’s unconventional gas industry. We are calling for a full investigation of the Department of Health’s response to fracking complaints, immediately open up past and future health complaints to the public, and ensure all future complaints are fully addressed. Signed, 1. Perry Adelson, DDS, Private practice, Williamsport PA 2. David Albright, MD, Carlisle Regional Medical Center, Carlisle PA 3. Michele Amateau, CA&A, Penn State University, Boalsburg PA 4.
