Bylaws and Contracts Sample Clauses

Bylaws and Contracts. The call provisions in an employment contract between the physician and the hospital may be more onerous than the provisions in the Medical Staff bylaws and Departmental rules. The physician group should not assume that the bylaws are going to set a standard which the hospital cannot change to its advantage. The hospital may lawfully demand by contract more of its employed physicians than the Medical Staff demands. Physicians need to face this and deal with it as a negotiable point in the proposed contract. We would suggest the agreement say something like this: “Physician shall provide emergency call on a reasonable basis, as determined by ____________ , but in any event no more frequently than as required by the Medical Staff Bylaws and applicable Departmental Rules.” Or it might say, “Physician shall provide emergency call on a reasonable basis, as determined by ____________ , but in any event no more frequently than every ______ day.”
