An issue alot of big organizations wrestle with
Why We Struggle to Hold Colleagues Accountable
Physician-led medical boards rarely took strict disciplinary action against doctors who overprescribed opioids. A new study explores why.
Professionals tend to be ineffective at holding their peers accountable, despite clear evidence of misconduct. Many states have responded by implementing transparency measures—like publicizing disciplinary proceedings—to help enforce accountability. A new study investigates whether this heightened level of transparency was enough to get medical doctors to hold colleagues accountable for overprescribing opioids. The verdict? Transparency fell far short, even in cases leading to patient deaths. Self-regulation, the findings show, requires more than just transparency to be effective.
