Sample scenarios for membership rights, privileges, and competency assessment

Today’s free resource is a grid to help you decide whether practitioners are eligible for membership, clinical privileges, and what type of competency assessment is necessary. Several different types of practitioners will present before the credentials committee or medical executive committee requesting initial appointment or reappointment. Establish within each clinical specialty minimum threshold criteria for quantitative data (volume) and qualitative data (amount of meaningful quality data) that will trigger a low-or no-volume approach to conducting FPPE. The medical staff may then classify practitioners as clinically active (meets minimum threshold criteria or required volume of quality data for specialty-specific privileges), clinically less active (below minimum threshold criteria with some meaningful data), or inactive (without any meaningful quality data). This creates the opportunity for medical staff professionals and medical staff leaders to summarize a well-delineated approach to matching competency with privileges granted for each type.
