Credentialing today’s vendor representatives in the OR
|
Vendor representative credentialing is evolving as fast, if not faster, than the clinical advances in medical technology. As a result, the burden on MSPs to ensure that industry representatives in hospitals do not put their business objectives before patient care guidelines has also increased.

Employ cultural competency training to quell privileging discrimination claims and foster community
|
Cultural competency is a popular buzzword in healthcare these days. From the hospital’s point of view, mastering cultural competency can improve the way the organization cares for its patients. From the medical staff’s point of view, mastering this competency can help reduce claims of discrimination and build an atmosphere of support for practitioners.

With four tracks available—credentialing and privileging, medical staff services department, leadership, and quality—you may need a Symposium inside scoop to know which track to choose.

| Assessing the Competency of Low-Volume Practitioners:
|
| The Joint Commission requires that hospitals verify physician competence using performance data. Yet organizations often have little or no data related to the competency of low- and no-volume physicians. Medical staff leaders are therefore challenged to develop a strategy that guides the hospital's relationship with low- and no-volume providers, and medical staff services departments are challenged to establish systems to verify physician competence. This fully updated book and CD-ROM set offers the necessary tools and strategies for medical staff leaders and professionals to manage the increasing number of low- and no-volume providers and comply with Joint Commission standards.
