In order to improve the quality of care and promote the competence of the Medical Staff and AHPs, the MEC has established a Well Being Committee comprised of interested physician members of the Medical Staff and qualified non-physician members who will bring expertise and experience to the Committee. When an AHP is to be discussed, an AHP member shall be in attendance.
The Well Being Committee may receive self-referrals or reports on the health, well-being, or impairment of Medical Staff members and AHPs.
The Committee shall review the responses from applicants concerning physical or mental disabilities and recommend, if any, reasonable accommodations indicated in order to assure the applicant will provide care in accordance with the Hospital’s and Medical Staff’s standard of care.
The Committee shall also consider general matters related to the health and well-being of the Medical Staff and, with the approval of the MEC, develop educational programs or related activities to educate the Medical Staff and other organization staff about illness and impairment recognition issues specific to physicians.
