OVERVIEW:

This webinar series will focus on the following:

  • Providing an in-depth overview of basic aspects of credentialing, including primary source verification, applying criteria for appointment, reviewing the application for completeness, and roles in the review and approval process;

     

  • Having a comprehensive, criteria-based privileging system, which is an essential element of the medical staff’s role. The increased focus on quality by accrediting organizations, the government, and the public emphasizes the need for continual monitoring of the quality of services provided and having a strong privileging system.

     

  • Identifying of “red flags” or information that indicates that there may be a problem that should be addressed.Some red flags are easy to identify, and others are more subtle. This webinar will discuss how to identify potential red flags, follow-up of these issues, and appropriately document this follow-up.

     

  • Discuss the concept of negligence as it relates to credentialing and privileging. The presenter will discuss past and recent negligent credentialing lawsuits and their impact on the credentialing practices of the hospital.
