This depends on the type of privileges the focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE) is assessing. There are three different proctoring methods to choose from: prospective proctoring, concurrent proctoring, and retrospective proctoring. Prospective and retrospective proctoring methods work best for validating competency in cognitive care/privileges. Cognitive care is the portion of medicine involving interpersonal interaction between practitioner and patient (e.g., performing an exam) and the use of the practitioner’s “brain power” (e.g., creating a different diagnosis, determining the appropriate procedure[s] to be performed, etc.). Concurrent proctoring is especially useful in validating competency for procedural care/privileges, because the proctor can observe firsthand the skill and judgment the practitioner applies to the patient in real-time clinical setting.

This week’s answer is from Core Privileges for AHPs: A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing Criteria-Based Privileges, by Carol S. Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS and Sally J. Pelletier, CPMSM, CPCS.
