OPPE has two goals. The first is to obtain data for all six of the general competencies. The second is to make the evaluation of physician performance more timely so that the organization identifies performance trends of current medical staff members on an ongoing basis, not just at reappointment every two years. The second goal provides opportunities to improve the individual performance prior to the reappointment decision. The OPPE equation looks like this:
Effective OPPE = Systematic Measurement + Systematic Evaluation + Systematic Follow-Through
Based on the preceding equation, creating a systematic and timely physician competency report will be the key to successful OPPE.
This week’s Q & A is from Measuring Physician Competency: How to Collect, Assess, and Provide Performance Data.
