Section 310:667-9-7 - Other staff

(a) In larger hospitals, and in some smaller hospitals, the medical staff may include one (1) or more of the categories in addition to the active staff. This in no way modifies the duties and responsibilities of the active staff.

(b) The categories of staff other than active may include the following:

(1)Honorary staff. The honorary staff shall be composed of former active staff, retired or emeritus, and other physicians and practitioners of reputation whom the hospital desires to honor.

(2)Consulting staff. The consulting staff shall be composed of recognized specialists willing to serve in such capacity. A member of the consulting staff may become a member of the active staff, but only if another appointment is made.

(3)Associate staff. The associate staff shall be composed of those members who use the hospital infrequently or those less-experienced members undergoing a period of probation before being considered for appointment to the active staff.

(4)Courtesy staff. The courtesy staff shall be composed of those who desire to attend patients in the hospital but who, for some reason not disqualifying, are ineligible for appointment in another category of the staff.

(5)Non-physician practitioners. The medical staff may designate a category of staff membership for non-physician practitioners who are approved to provide services in an allied health profession. The roles of those persons approved by the medical staff for this category of membership shall be clearly defined in accordance with OAC 310:667-5-2.
