Medical Staff Bylaws — Session 2 Privileging

FACULTY: Barbara Blackmond and Charlie Chulack
Join us: A key to excellent leadership is excellent learning!
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees.
If you have new members in any of these important positions, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for direct education that we guarantee will be helpful to them in their new roles.
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees.When it comes to granting clinical privileges, the Medical Staff Bylaws or Credentialing Policy should provide a roadmap for Medical Staff leaders to handle common privileging issues and manage them fairly.
As the provision of health care evolves, unique privileging issues arise and must be dealt with effectively. To facilitate this, the Medical Staff Bylaws or Credentialing Policy should have a detailed process for addressing locum tenens privileges, privileges for new procedures, privileges that cross specialty lines, telemedicine privileges, disaster privileges, and privileges for advanced practice clinicians. Policies should also outline how the Hospital and Medical Staff leaders will deal with requests to relinquish privileges, including consideration of how a request will impact important Hospital functions such as providing call coverage.
This audio conference will cover these topics and more so that attendees have the tools to develop and implement successful clinical privileging processes.
Listen live on February 7, 2017. Or, purchase the recording (mp3 or CD) of this audio conference to share with Medical Staff members at an upcoming meeting or throughout the year.
