AUDIOCONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Core Privileges for AHPs: A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing Criteria-Based Privileges
presented on June 30, 2008
How do you comply with HR.1.20 and measure competency for nonprivileged AHPs?
Although The Joint Commission's HR standards (HR.1.20) affecting nonprivileged AHPs are not new, the issue continues to be a trouble spot for medical staff leaders, medical staff professionals, and HR departments. The bottom line: If the competency of nonprivileged AHPs in your facility is being measured in an inconsistent way for hospital employees versus those brought in by licensed independent practitioners (LIPs), your organization is noncompliant.
Listen to HCPro for Complying with HR.1.20: What We've Learned About Competency Assessment for Nonprivileged AHPs, and discover successful strategies that have helped your peers navigate this difficult issue. During this audioconference, you'll learn the six steps to transition nonprivileged AHPs to the HR authorization process and out of the medical staff credentialing privileging process.
This 90-minute audioconference provides expert interpretation of standards related to nonprivileged AHPs and required competence assessment, how these changes have affected AHP credentialing, and practical strategies that you can adapt for your facility.
