Identify several difficulties and several benefits of working with licensed independent practitioners to improve quality in a typical hospital. What considerations should managers keep in mind when working with them?

The Licensed independent practitioners are those medical professionals those who are hired to provide care and services without any supervision and direction by other hospital staff.

Explanation:

Some licensed independent practitioners are doctors who run their own hospital or clinic. The difficulties with working with these professionals is that they are so busy professionals that they can even skip the appointment without giving due reasons. They ask for huge income per visit. Benefit for working with them is that they give valid opinion related to treatment to the client. They can be called upon when resident doctor is not available in the hospital.

The following are the considerations should manager keep in mind while working with them:

1. Assign their appointment with the clients or patients duly agreeing by them.

2. Providing them a separate room for check up.

3. Providing them the same treatment as that of the resident medical professionals or permanent employees.
