The FPPE Toolbox

Not sure how to collect, organize, and present your FPPE data? Just open your toolbox!

By now you know the importance of focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE).

Due to revisions to Joint Commission standards in both 2007 and 2008, hospitals must establish and track practitioner competency using measurable performance data..

What is the bottom line for your MSO?

The bottom line is, to be compliant with the regulatory changes, your MSO must adopt a standard framework defining the dimensions of privileged practitioners’ performance, applying The Joint Commission’s requirements for competency. In addition, failing to gather and organize FPPE data in a standardized way presents risks including failing to gather sufficient data, redundancy, inconsistency across specialties, and failing to articulate to practitioners their role in FPPE.
