If your medical staff services department is working to implement a core privileging system, you may find that some do not understand the core privileging process or philosophy as well as you do, and as a result might be skeptical about the new system. It is best to debunk these misconceptions as they arise.
Some of these myths may include:
- A core system spurs more bureaucracy and paperwork: In fact, a core privileging system may reduce the bureaucracy and paperwork.
- It is just another Joint Commission change: In fact, The Joint Commission has no position on core privileges or any other mechanism for granting privileges.
- The credentials committee is attempting to restrict privileges: In fact, a practitioner will generally maintain his or her privileges as long as clinical competence is demonstrated.
This week’s tip 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.
