Electronic Fetal Monitoring - Requirement or Recommendation

cpellegrini@tomahhealth.org — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:13:07 +0000

I found on the Family Medicine +OB privilege form with HC Pro EFM course completion and renewal is listed as a required education/training. I cannot find any supporting resources that state EFM course completion is required. Is this a requirement or a recommendation?

NCQA Accreditation

ErinH04 — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 18:05:03 +0000

Our group is hoping to gain NCQA Accreditation for Credentialing- but I'm just not 100% confident about our policies/procedures. Does anyone have examples or templates they would be willing to share of NCQA approved policies & procedures?

Process for Training/Precepting in New Procedures/Privileges for Existing Medical Staff Members

SCHMSS — Thu, 30 May 2024 14:27:47 +0000

I'm looking for sample policies/procedures to guide the process for an existing credentialed Medical Staff members to obtain training that could lead to obtaining a new privilege. It could be for a new technology or to obtain training for an existing additional privilege. Specific scenario is a bariatric surgeon wishing to have colonoscopy privileges and does not have requisite case logs within the past 2 years.

Residents

I received a request for Residents to start in our ED and practice with a GMT license. Does anyone currently have Residents practicing in their hospital and if so, do you require anything for credentialing?

APP Co-signatures

We are a Critical Access Hospital from Minnesota. Our PAs are now able to practice independently with a physician collaborative agreement. Are you requiring any co-signatures? Any co-signature required in the inpatient setting?

Thank you!

Application Processing Timeline?

kwatts — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:06:44 +0000

What is your average timeline for processing a provider credentialing and privileging application (not including taking it to committee)? Recently the expectation in my area has been that processing can be completed, and temporary privileges issued, within 24 hours after receiving the application back from the provider. I am in a AAAHC accredited ASC. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks!

Education/Training Providers - FPPE Process & Mentors Responsibilities

16602161 — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 17:02:54 +0000

We are looking for ways to enhance the knowledge of our providers regarding the purpose and process of FPPE. In addition, we want to develop a new process to train/educate the mentors regarding their responsibilities and the importance of their involvement. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic?

Botox for dystonia?

hendricksond — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 17:35:30 +0000

I am looking for information that would tell me if anesthesiologists or interventional pain medicine providers would do "botox for dystonia". If neither of those specialties, who would do botox for dystonia?

Pharmacy Signature Requirement, Still a Requirement?

maryod — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:54:29 +0000

I was recently asked why we collect provider signatures on a special form for our Pharmacy…”because we’ve always done it” was my response. We have an internal policy (written many years ago) that says a copy of the provider's signature will be kept on file. Our policy doesn’t state why we collect those signatures.

Was this a DEA rule that has since gone by the wayside in this age of electronic ordering?

I’m snooping around on the DEA website but don’t find anything helpful.

What do other hospital do? Are you keeping a copy of the Provider's signature on file in Pharmacy?

Any discussion is appreciated!

Thanks

Thank you for any input.

Why am I not getting emails anymore for Med Staff Talk?

Trussell@hughchatham.org — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:32:15 +0000

I no longer get emails for Med Staff Talk. Do we have to log in daily to see posts and answer them? Yikes.
