Having trouble gathering enough competency data on physicians who rarely darken your hospital’s door but still request privileges? Join Jon Burroughs MD, MBA, FACPE, CMSL, and Sally Pelletier, CPMSM, CPCS for a 90-minute solutions-based workshop. This workshop will provide you with practical strategies and tools to help you manage the increasing number of low- and no-volume providers on your medical staff. 

At the end of Low-Volume Providers Workshop: Solutions to Assess Competency and Comply with FPPE and OPPE, participants will be able to:

• Define appropriate medical staff categories for low-volume providers
• Create gradations in privileging delineations to privilege low- and no-volume practitioners
• Leverage various tools to document and assess performance data for low- and no-volume providers
• Comply with The Joint Commission’s OPPE and FPPE requirements without using excessive resources
• Use professional references and perception data to assess competence
• Modify your medical staff bylaws to address the decreasing number of hospital-based practitioners
• Develop easy-to-understand physician feedback reports for low-volume practitioners
• Identify tactical and strategic solutions specific to each type of low- and no-volume practitioner 

I will be participating in the Web cast, so feel free to e-mail me with questions for our speakers at ejones@hcpro.com. No question is too big or too small!!
