Before processing a low- and no-volume practitioner’s request for renewed privileges, hospital and medical staff leaders should engage the practitioner in a collegial conversation to determine whether he or she is still interested in the same privileges. MSPs can help coordinate this conversation and add this step to a credentialing checklist for processing low- and no-volume practitioners’ applications. Additionally, MSPs can collect data on the practitioner’s activity level to distribute to the parties prior to the conversation.
This week’s tip is from HCPro’s Assessing the Competency of Low-Volume Practitioners.
