Physicians: A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing
Criteria-based Privileges, 4th Edition
Loose Leaf Binder: 500 pages + bonus CD-ROM
Core Privileges: A Practical Approach to Development and Implementation - 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. Moving from a privileging system that is not criteria-based 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. Medical staff privileging continues to be a challenge for medical staff services professionals as they try to meet JCAHO and CMS standards and ensure the provision of quality patient care. In today's litigious climate, it's particularly important for hospitals to implement efficient privileging processes to protect against malpractice suits. This updated version of the classic Core Privileges book and CD-ROM includes new information about the recent CMS Guidance and its impact on privileging program design. On November 12th, 2004, CMS published their long-awaited guidance on hospital privileging systems, which spoke directly to the use of systems like core privileging. This guidance emphasizes the importance of defining the procedure within the specialty and subspecialty core. Designed to help you comply with JCAHO and CMS standards, this new edition of Core Privileges helps you comply by including procedure lists in each core privileging form and explains how to evaluate the physician's competence to perform all procedures in the core. This valuable resource features samples of all 26 specialty forms and 50 subspecialty forms with expanded special procedures criteria incorporated into each core privileging form. 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:
The companion CD-ROM also includes all of these forms — allowing you to tailor them to your organization's specific needs. It includes resources that will help you to:
Ensure your facility has the most streamlined and effective privileging system available. Here is a sampling of the time-saving tools and forms you'll receive:
