For each specialty, assemble the information you have gathered, along with the draft core privileges, accompanying a sample procedure list (if applicable), the threshold criteria, any special non-core procedure requests for each core, and any established criteria. If your organization has a vice president of medical affairs (VPMA) or a credentials committee chair, involve that person in the development of each draft. He or she should also review each draft before you share it with the appropriate department chair.
This week’s question and answer are from Core Privileges for Physicians: A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing Criteria-Based Privileges, Fourth Edition, by Wendy Crimp, RN, BSN, MBA, CPHQ; Sally J. Pelletier, CPMSM, CPCS; Vicki L. Searcy, CPMSM; and Mark Smith, MD, MBA, FACS.
