to Comply with HR Standards Related to Nonprivileged Practitioners Softbound Book + bonus CD-ROM
Are you sometimes puzzled over Joint
Commission HR 1.20? You don't have to be.
What about the clinical assistants
brought in by LIPs? The Joint Commission requirements regarding
licensed independent practitioners (LIP) who bring their employees
into the organization are at the crux of the AHP conundrum. These
dependent healthcare professionals often provide the same services
as employees of the organization, and must be authorized and have
their competency addressed in an equivalent manner. But does the MSO
know the HR standards for compliance?
You could be doing all of the
credentialing work but still be out of compliance. MSPs may do all
of the work to credential these clinical assistants yet still fail
to meet The Joint Commission’s new standards to ensure that
practitioners brought into the hospital by LIPs are assessed at a
level commensurate to those individuals employed by the hospital.
Create a workable plan! This practical, easy-to-use guide will help MSPs — in collaboration with their HR coworkers — create a workable plan for the transition.
Get started with adaptable tools on
CD-ROM. This book’s companion CD-ROM includes job descriptions
for many of the healthcare professionals being phased out of the MSO
path and into the HR path. You can save time by downloading and
using these tools as a starting point in your office. Use a proven
blueprint for HR success. You can speed up and smooth out the
changeover by following the step-by-step methodology set out in this
book.
Maintain safety and quality standards at
all times. This book offers a plan to ensure that there is no breach
of established safety mechanisms. It covers issues surrounding
health screening, background checks, and more, to ensure that
patient safety and quality of care is not compromised. Includes over 25 job descriptions and related assessment forms! Take a look at the step-by-step table of contents:

Clear the
confusion around Joint Commission HR 1.20. This guide breaks down
the standards to show you which AHPs need to be credentialed and
privileged through the MSO. Please remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review current coding resources.
