Medical staff bylaws or associated documents should contain a provision for how applications are processed, including timeframes for completion. Joint Commission standards require a clearly documented procedure for the processing of requests for initial grants, renewals, or revision of privileges. In addition, they require timely completion of the credentialing and privileging process, as well as action on completed privilege applications within the time period specified in the bylaws.
This week’s tip is from The Medical Staff Meeting Companion: Tools and Techniques for Effective Presentations, by Kathy Matzka, CPMSM, CPCS.
