Practitioner peer review hearings have become increasingly complex, time-consuming, and costly. These hearings can stretch over years due to the extensive evidence involved and the challenges of coordinating busy hearing panels, practitioners under review, peer review representatives, attorneys, witnesses, and other participants. This prolonged process can be stressful and financially burdensome, especially for practitioners facing suspension or restriction of clinical privileges.

To help avoid lengthy hearings, parties and their counsel often turn to mediation—a voluntary process where a neutral, experienced mediator assists in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution. The first part of this webinar will cover best practices for successful mediation in peer review disputes.

When mediation does not resolve the matter, arbitration offers a statutory alternative that can speed up resolution, reduce costs, and minimize disruption. Arbitration allows for more efficient evidence presentation without convening a large panel. The webinar will provide an overview of arbitration advantages, procedural steps, and best practices for legal representation in peer review arbitration.

Designed specifically for CSHA members, this webinar features six highly qualified peer review practitioners from CSHA’s Hearing Officer Training Committee, all experienced mediators and arbitrators. The session includes expert presentations and interactive Q&A to equip attendees with practical strategies for managing mediated and arbitrated peer review cases.
