Get answers to your questions about the new NPDB Guidebook

The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) quietly updated its guidelines last spring. In the 90-minute webcast, FPPE and the Revised NPDB Guidebook, 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. During this webcast, Sagin will provide an overview of the changes and delve deeper into the new requirements that will affect medical staff professionals, including sample NPDB reporting policies, potential changes facilities should make regarding focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE), and how NPDB reporting is applicable to advanced practice professionals (APP) and nonphysicians.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
•    Inform medical staff members about the NPDB changes that apply to them
•    Implement or revise a policy on reporting to the NPDB
•    Report FFPE, and other peer review actions, to the NPDB when necessary
•    Notify physicians about an investigation or the closure of an investigation
•    Handle disputes over reporting to the NPDB
•    Prepare medical staff professionals for what the new Data Bank requirements might cause them to encounter
