FPPE and the NPDB

The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) quietly updated its guidelines last spring, and the changes have left many medical staff services departments wondering what—if anything—they must do differently. If your medical staff has questions, tune in to "FPPE and the Revised NPDB Guidebook: How to Address New Reporting Challenges" on Thursday, November 12, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. In this 90-minute webcast, expert Todd Sagin, MD, JD, will review the new guidelines, which include expanded definitions of “investigations” that can trigger reports to the NPDB.

Attendees will also learn what they should report to the NPDB regarding peer review, credentialing, and malpractice actions, plus what medical staff activities truly constitute a reportable investigation.

In this webcast, Dr. Sagin will provide an overview of the changes and delve deeper into the new requirements that will affect MSPs, including sample NPDB reporting policies, potential changes that facilities should make regarding FPPE, and how NPDB reporting is applicable to advanced practice professionals and nonphysicians.
