One recurring theme among clinicians is the growing emphasis on evaluating real-world performance rather than relying solely on historical documentation.
As allied health practitioners’ scope of practice continues to evolve, hospitals should consider forming a subcommittee to better manage the workload involved with credentialing and privileging these providers.
Learn where coordination between practices and hospital credentialing departments breaks down, how organizations can reduce rework, and what it takes to keep provider information accurate and current across workflows.
Special privileges require additional training and demonstrated competencies beyond those required for core privileges, enabling providers to perform such privileges competently and safely.
Skill with artificial intelligence (AI) will emerge as a core professional competency that physicians must maintain as part of modern clinical practice, much like competence in using the electronic health record, interpreting diagnostic studies, or applying evidence-based guidelines.
Low-volume providers are, by definition, practitioners who perform very few procedures or admit or treat very few patients within their appointment cycle. At reappointment, these providers may request clinical privileges that they have not performed on a regular basis.
