Editor’s pick: What’s your credentialing software missing?
If your medical staff office’s existing credentialing software helps you create and generate credentialing reports but gets a failing grade for compatibility with your privilege forms, don’t start from scratch. Consider a software “add on” that helps you develop, maintain, and disseminate criteria-based privilege forms that comply with Joint Commission and CMS regulations. To learn more, register for a live Webex demonstration of Core Privilege Plus on Tuesday, November 3 at 1:00 ET. To register, email Maureen Coler at mcoler@hcpro.com or call 781-639-1872 extension 3741.

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.
