Measuring Physician Performance
Exploring Methods to Link Privileges with Competency
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Core Privilege Plus
presented on September 16, 2008
Is your current privileging method equipped to link physician performance measures with clinical privileges?
If not, the potential consequences cannot be ignored. Without a strong link between competency documentation and privilege delineation, you risk:
- Failure to meet Joint Commission and CMS requirements
- Poor privileging decisions and negligent credentialing liability
- Compromised patient care
- Inefficient use of physician and staff time
Explore new methods the field is moving toward to avoid these risks and match objective competency criteria to privileges.
Listen to HCPro's Measuring Physician Performance: Exploring Methods to Link Privileges with Competency. During this 90-minute audio conference, you’ll learn about new strategies and tools to:
- Identify how to meet Joint Commission and CMS CoPs standards
- Recognize ways to match objective competency criteria to privileges
- Classify privileges appropriately
- Identify how to use “clusters” to achieve more accurate privileging
- Determine a means to overcome inefficient use of physician and MSP time
- Implement methods to reduce the risk of negligent credentialing
Take a step beyond core privileging: Learn to match privileging “clusters” with competency to improve quality and achieve Joint Commission and CMS compliance.
Agenda
- Where we are: Survey the factors influencing the increased focus on physician competency assessment, such as:
- Joint Commission standards calling for objective/evidence-based
- Public accountability for quality
- Increased focus on patient safety
- Where we need to go: The need to link clinical privileges to physician competency and the shortcomings of existing privileging systems in doing so
- In-depth look at 4-6 major specialty areas that are acute pain points for nearly all hospitals
- The mechanism to get there: The next generation of privileging
- Create a methodology of clustering what physicians in various specialties do, then successfully measure that data in order to link the clusters to physician competency measures or indicators
- The challenges and potential solutions
- Q & A
Please note: Purchasers should already have a basic knowledge of core privileging.
