AMA bylaws guide (costs $30 for AMA non-members):
Since medical staff bylaws serve as the structure under which the medical staff provides care in the hospital, it is important to have well designed and well written bylaws. This practical, "how to" guide is intended for physicians involved in medical staff issues. Trends in medical staff reengineering, ways to improve medical staff bylaws, emerging medical staff issues and model bylaw language are discussed in depth. The 3rd edition of the Physician's Guide to Medical Staff Organization Bylaws is now available in to members at no cost. Non-members can purchase access to the book for $30 through AMA Press at (800) 621-8335.
