Summary:

Core Privileges for AHPs, Third Edition: Develop and Implement Criteria-Based Privileging for Nonphysician PractitionersSally Pelletier, CPMSM, CPCS, AuthorContributors:Carol S. Cairns, CPMSM, CPCSMary J. Hoppa, MD, MBAAmy Niehaus, CPMSM, CPCS, MBAChanges in the healthcare delivery landscape and scope-of-practice laws are driving demand for allied health professionals (AHP). However, creating criteria-based privilege forms for AHPs can be a lengthy process, requiring weeks of searching for applicable competency benchmarks. Core Privileges for AHPs contains completely updated, customizable forms drafted from best practices and reviewed by experts in the field. Create a comprehensive and efficient privileging process that saves valuable time while ensuring the delivery of high-quality care.This book will help you:Save time with downloadable, customizable sample formsHave the confidence your forms were created and reviewed by subject matter expertsProvide your medical staff leadership team with valuable information on best practices for AHP "train-up" and competency assessmentWhat's new in this edition?Criteria for granting privileges and guidelines from specialty societies/medical boards have changed since the previous edition of this book (2011).Healthcare law has cleared the way for more people to get insurance and, therefore, healthcare--at a time when a physician shortage looms and organizations seek to offload some duties to less-expensive practitioners.CMS earlier this year clarified its definition of medical staff to include "... non-physician practitioners who are determined to be eligible for appointment by the governing body." CMS cites physician assistants, advanced practice RNs, and registered dietitians--in other words, AHPs--as candidates for the medical staff.AHPs' roles continue to evolve state by state, with many states expanding their scope of practice.In short, hospitals that never considered privileging AHPs are doing so now.
