In most organizations, the hospital or parent institution incurs the cost of focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE). In some locales, however, the medical staff treasure pays. It is also reasonable to require the physician under review to cover proctoring costs. Where this is the practice, clearly stat in the medical staff bylaws that this financial burden is placed on physicians whose performance raises competence questions. Numerous institutions require the physician under review to share the cost of proctoring, with a portion borne by the hospital and a portion by the doctor.
This weeks question and answer are excerpted from Proctoring and FPPE: Strategies for Verifying Physician Competence, Second Edition, by Robert J. Marder, MD, CMSL and Mark A. Smith, MD, MBA, CMSL.
