  • Title: Chief of staff and medical director: conflict or cooperation?
    Author: Olazagasti RA.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1990; 16(2):33-5. PubMed ID: 10160625.
    Abstract:
    Inevitably as the role of the medical director expands, it will directly affect power structures already existing in the hospital hierarchy, including department chiefs, other administrators, and the chief of staff. This article will attempt to define the roles of the medical director and the chief of staff, explore possible conflicts, and provide suggestions to help avoid confrontation. Finally, an attempt will be made to look into the future direction of the medical director's position.
