Converting to core can be a challenge

Moving from a privileging system that is not criteria-based (e.g., laundry list or other) to a criteria-based core privileging system continues to be a challenge for hospitals and healthcare systems—and in particular for medical staff services professionals—as they try to meet federal, state, Joint Commission, and CMS standards; keep up with changing technology and the advent (or introduction of) new procedures; and ensure the provision of safe, quality patient care.

In addition, core privileges are a fundamental way for healthcare organizations to manage physician competency and criteria-based privileging in an increasingly data-driven environment.

Meet the challenge with this step-by-step guide

Core Privileges for Physicians: A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing Criteria-based Privileges, Fourth Edition, a comprehensive manual and CD-ROM set, provides step-by-step guidelines and tools to help you develop and implement the most efficient and consistent privileging system available—the core privileging approach.

Every form reviewed and updated since the previous edition

We’ve reviewed and updated every form in the manual and have added new core privileging forms that are not available anywhere else. In addition, many core forms contain sample procedure lists that correspond to the specialties and subspecialties that they accompany.

Examples of some of the new forms in this edition include palliative medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine. In addition, we have revised and updated many of the ever-evolving and hard-to-privilege-for specialties and subspecialties. Forms include:

• Cardiac Surgery
• Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
• Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
• Palliative Medicine
• Urgent Care Center Privileges
• And many more

Jam-packed with valuable features and forms

This valuable resource features sample core forms for specialties and subspecialties, with expanded special procedures criteria incorporated into each core privileging form. The companion CD-ROM also includes all of these forms, allowing you to tailor them to your organization’s specific needs.

Ensure that your facility has the most streamlined and effective privileging system available.
