JCAHO posts revised FAQ on credentialing LIPs

Accreditation Connection, July 3, 2006

The JCAHO on June 23 published a revised FAQ for credentialing non-medical staff licensed independent practitioners (LIPs) that order tests and treatments from a JCAHO-accredited organization.

The FAQ answers two questions:

  • What level of credentialing, if any, must occur for non-medical staff LIPs who order laboratory tests or radiology procedures?
  • What level of credentialing, if any, must occur for non-medical staff LIPs who write orders and direct outpatient care, such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy services?
