Tip of the week: FPPE is privilege-specific

FPPE and OPPE requirements raise the bar for anyone involved in privileging. The Joint Commission’s standards require these evaluations to be “privilege specific.” Imagine yourself with a privileging laundry list (and a practitioner has requested all listed privileges). What should be proctored, monitored, or chart reviewed? When should the medical staff monitor the physician’s clinical practice patterns? When each privilege stands by itself, such as in laundry lists, documenting competency for each listed privilege is an almost impossible task.

Register for a live free Webex demonstration of Core Privilege Plus on Tuesday, June 9 at 1:00 ET and learn why criteria-based core privileges help medical staff organizations define and determine competency – and meet regulatory requirements.
