As a physician is a very integral part of medical staff, hence the recruitment of a physician should be done carefully. Therefore, a medical staff before recruiting a physician, he or she should go through the physician's qualifications and more so check if he is fulfilling the requirement of the hospital. However, the next step would be to judge the skills of the physician as well as how much time he is taking to serve patients and more so the quality of service he or she is giving to the patients.

However, below are some of the few checks which need to be done, for example,

• Hospital medical staff determines whether a physician applicant is qualified, through proofing of qualification like for instance, certificate confirming the educational qualification of the candidate
• Also determines whether the physician applicant is qualified through interviewing the applicant as well as analysing the potential and future goals as well as determining the proximity of the candidate from the hospital
• The other thing which is checked is through holding a license to serve in the state as well as verification of proofs given by the applicant

After the assesmement, the applicant goes through the appointment process, during which they are thoroughly briefed on hospital norms and the kind of job that the hospital expects from them. Thus, everyone on the organized medical staff who is credentialed and privileged must undergo reassessment following a standardized process, and that process must be completed within two years , this provides instruction on the skills that will be used on the job in order to ensure patient safety. Thus, regular reappointment to the medical staff is very important for patient safety as it has ultimate responsibility for the selection of the organisations professional staff as well as ensures that the applicants are appropriately qualified. Many medical staff members grouse that reappointment is another bureaucratic activity foisted on them by hospital management. They dismiss the importance of the paperwork and the deadlines by which it needs to be submitted, but the truth of the matter is that both federal law and accrediting agency requirements require regular reappointment periods.
