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, 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.
Do you have the tools for FPPE
compliance? The FPPE Toolbox: Field-Tested Documents for
Credentialing, Competency, and Compliance provides exactly that
— a comprehensive toolbox full of the forms and tools you need to
conduct FPPE and OPPE. It offers:
Forms

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.
