Credentialing Resource Center Connection

The Greeley Company recently updated its core privileging forms for physicians—and it’s a great time to update your privileging forms, too!

Last week we asked readers: Has your medical staff ever held a meeting to resolve a privilege dispute?

Here’s what you said.

61% said yes, and it helped resolve the situation
32% said no, the medical staff has never held such a meeting
7% said yes, but the dispute is still a point of tension within the medical staff

If a feedback report shows that a practitioner isn’t meeting performance expectations and the practitioner does not self-correct, appropriate leaders or mentors should meet with him or her to discuss self-improvement strategies. These leaders or mentors should help motivate the practitioner to change or eliminate unacceptable performance, and monitor the practitioner’s progress. Medical staff leaders shouldn’t wait until reappointment to address performance issues—they should discuss such issues with the practitioners as soon as concerns arise.
