A new JCAHO standard outlines how hospitals may credential and privilege licensed independent practitioners (LIPs) who aren't members of the medical staff, but volunteer their services during an emergency.
This new standard takes effect immediately for all accredited hospitals. So you, your credentialing office colleagues, and medical staff leaders should become familiar with its provisions as soon as possible. This special report will help you do just that. The articles in this report focus on key aspects of the standard and offer tips for compliance.
