Editor's pick: FPPE and OPPE are privilege-specific
FPPE and OPPE requirements raise the bar for anyone involved in privileging. The Joint Commission standards include language that requires these evaluations to be “privilege specific.” Imagine yourself with a privileging laundry list (and the practitioner requested all listed privileges). What should be proctored, monitored, chart reviewed, or subject to monitoring clinical practice patterns? When each privilege stands by itself, such as in laundry lists, documenting competency for each listed privilege is almost impossible. Register for a live free Webex demonstration of Core Privilege Plus on Tuesday, November 3 at 1:00 ET and learn why criteria-based privileges help medical staff organizations define and determine competency and meet regulatory requirements. To register, e-mail Maureen Coler at mcoler@hcpro.com or call 800-650-6787 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.
