Internal affairs and investigation are just necessary. Things happen, and when patient care is affected or jeopardized, they must be explored and dispositions made so that they don't recur. Besides Joint Commission accreditation and insurance reimbursements, a public reputation is jeopardized by uncorrected omissions or errors in care. The interviewer wants to know if you'll have the courage to step up and do what is right.

"There is no easy answer for this, only a difficult one: yes, I would have an obligation to do what is right when it comes to patient care and safety, even if that means possibly being resented by a colleague. If it were a close personal friend being targeted by the investigation, I would ask to recuse myself, but I would be prepared for that to not be granted. The only thing I would ask is to not be the only one making a judgement. Having more than one investigator, I feel, is necessary to take politics out of such an inquiry and give it additional objective credibility."
