From September 2007 through the April 2008 issues, the Briefings on Credentialing newsletter featured a series of Credentialing 101 articles. Each article focused on a single credentialing topic, and provided a refresher course for the seasoned pro and a just-the-facts introduction for the new MSP on the block. This week's tip is from the article "Privileging conflicts," printed in the February 2008 issue:
When a medical staff experiences a privileging dispute, one specialty may try to justify its right to have privileges because it is protected by an exclusive contract.
However, the governing board, with significant management input, is responsible for determining exclusive contracts, not the medical staff (which is responsible for competency criteria). Therefore, if practitioners are disputing privileges covered by an exclusive contract, they need to contact the governing board to develop a resolution.
