MSPs should put together a full timeline for each applicant; the timeline should reflect all practice from graduation of medical school to present. Organizational policies should define how much of a time gap in the practitioner’s work history requires that practitioner to provide a detailed explanation of what he or she was doing during that time. Good practice is to have the applicant provide detailed information on any gaps in training or practice that are greater than 30 days in duration.
This week’s tip is from Legal Strategies for MSPs & Physician Leaders: Prevent Negligent Credentialing and Protect Peer Review by Anne Roberts, CPMSM, CPCS.
