Retool your FPPE program with expert-curated resources
Since the days of Semmelweis and Nightingale, patient outcomes have been measured and evaluated. When The Joint Commission introduced focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE) in 2007, it formally prescribed that healthcare organizations must perform a targeted assessment of practitioners at key junctures. Although this standard has been around for nearly a decade, it is still challenging for institutions to create meaningful data that reflects their practices. Given these lingering obstacles, medical staff leaders and MSPs must ensure their approaches keep pace with focused review requirements, whose influence is only growing. In 2014, the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) adopted its own FPPE standards.
Enter The FPPE Toolbox, a compilation of strategies, forms, and other resources that support focused review and practitioner performance improvement.
