The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) requires hospitals to report clinical privilege restrictions that last more than 30 days. Most proctoring arrangements do not restrict the privileges of the medical staff member undergoing proctoring and therefore are not reportable, but cases in which the medical staff member is allowed to perform clinical duties only with the proctor present and at the direction of the proctor are examples of privileges being changed from “independent” to “dependent”—and such a change in privilege status—is reportable if it lasts longer than 30 days.
This week’s answer is from Proctoring and Focused Professional Practice Evaluation: Practical Approaches to Verifying Physician Competence, by Robert J. Marder, MD; Mark A. Smith, MD, MBA, FACS; and Todd Sagin, MD, JD.
