Introduction: Credentialing is now an ongoing process that involves continuous evaluation of a practitioners performance using an evidence -based approach that is fairly and consistently applied using criteria appropriate to the specialty area of practice and request privileges. Physician profile data should be robust, include comparisons, and lead to informed decision-making around granting or denial of privileges. Definitions: Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation - A documented summary of ongoing data collected for the purpose of assessing a practitioner's clinical competence and professional behavior. The information gathered during this process factors into decisions to maintain, revise or revoke existing privilege (s). Focused Professional Practice Evaluations (Focused Review) - A time-limited evaluation of practitioner competence in performing a specific privilege. This process is implemented for: All newly requested privileges and Whenever a question arises regarding a practitioner's ability to provide safe, high Quality patient care Practitioner Individual with Medical Staff or Allied Health privileges.

Steps for Developing An Evidence Based Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation
Step One Complete a worksheet for each department and sometimes subspecialties within the department based on what is already being measured. Compare the list to the practitioners privilege list for specialties and subspecialties assigned to that department. You must be collecting data that relates to what they are privileged to perform. Step Two If the list is inadequate, meet with the Department Chair or other appropriate medical staff member to add appropriate indicators. Develop a matrix of data source. Again, using privilege list to make sure the data represents what the members are privileged to do. Step Three Seek approval of the criteria by the appropriate medical staff leaders and/or committees. Step Four Create the profiles from the indicator worksheet. Step Five Define your periodic timeframe for reporting the profile i.e. 3 months or 6 months. Step Six Develop a standard report format to and from the Department Chair to the Quality Department or appropriate Quality group based on your structure. Step Seven Set up a process for the feed back to reach the database (file) of the individuals being considered for reappointment.

Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation EXAMPLE POLICY JC Standards: MS.4.40 and MS.4.45 Purpose
1. To clearly define the process utilized for facilitating the continuous evaluation of each practitioner's professional practice; 2. To define the type of data (criteria/indicators) to be collected for the ongoing professional practice evaluation. (Note: The criteria defined for Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation, will be utilized as screening triggers for a possible Focused Professional Practice Evaluation). 3. To ensure the information resulting from the ongoing professional practice evaluation is used to determine whether to continue, limit or revoke any existing privileges; 4. To define the process for collecting, investigating, and addressing clinical practice concerns, including the process utilized to identify trends that impact Quality of care and patient safety; 5. To ensure reported concerns regarding a privileged practitioner's professional practice are uniformly investigated and addressed as defined by hospital policy and applicable law; 6. To define those circumstances in which an external review or focused review may be necessary; and 7. To define the medical staff's leadership role in the organization's performance improvement activities related to practitioner performance and ensure that when the findings are relevant to an individual's performance, the findings in the ongoing evaluations of competence are in accordance with recognized standards.
Scope
This policy applies to all Medical Staff and Allied Health Professionals privileged through medical staff mechanisms at the hospital.
Definitions Focused Professional Practice Evaluations (Focused Review) - A timelimited evaluation of practitioner competence in performing a specific privilege. This process is implemented for: All newly requested privileges and Whenever a question arises regarding a practitioner's ability to provide safe, high quality patient care. Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation - A documented summary of ongoing data collected for the purpose of assessing a practitioner's clinical competence and professional behavior. The information gathered during this process factors into decisions to maintain, revise or revoke existing privilege (s).

FOCUSED PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE EVALUATION POLICY

Purpose To establish a systematic process to evaluate and confirm the current competency of practitioners performance of privileges at ______________ hospital. This process is known as focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE or focused evaluation). Definition of FPPE Focused professional practice evaluation is defined as a time-limited period during which the organization evaluates and determines a practitioners professional performance of privileges. FPPE will occur in all requests for new privileges and when there are concerns regarding the provision of safe, high quality care by a current medical staff member, as recognized through the peer review process. This process includes an assessment for proficiency in the following six areas of general competencies: 1. Patient care. 2. Medical and clinical knowledge 3. Practice-based learning and improvement 4. Interpersonal and communication skills 5. Professionalism 6. Systems-based practice Information for this evaluation may be derived from the following: 1. Discussion with other individuals involved in the care of each patient (e.g. consulting physician, assistants in surgery, nursing, or administrative personnel) 2. Chart review 3. Monitoring clinical practice patterns 4. Proctoring 5. Simulation 6. External peer review Responsibilities The department chair (or division chief) shall be responsible for overseeing the evaluation process for all applicants or staff members assigned to their department or division. The credentials committee is charged with the responsibility of monitoring compliance with this policy. It accomplishes this by receiving regular status reports on the progress of all practitioners undergoing focused evaluation as well as any issues or problems involving the implementation of this policy.

Performance of FPPE The type of focused professional performance evaluation to be used will be determined by the department chair based on the individual practitioners circumstance using the following guidelines: 1. New applicant. a. Peer recommendations from previous institutions will be confirmed by the department chair. b. Performance indicators, or aggregate data, within the department will be monitored. c. FPPE peer evaluations by the department chair and one other active staff member will be completed within 3 months of initiation of clinical activity. The department chair should seek input from colleagues, consultants, nursing personnel, and administration. d. Procedure and clinical activity logs will be reviewed from either previous institutions or training programs. If current competency from previous institution is well-documented through case logs of activity within recent year, then no additional monitoring is required. If current competency and adequate clinical activity is not welldocumented from previous institution, then a higher level of focused evaluation will be necessary for this type of applicant. Specifically, concurrent chart review, proctoring, or simulation should occur to fully evaluate the ability to perform requested privileges. The focused evaluation plan will be determined by the department chair with approval of the credentials committee. 2. New privilege for existing staff member. If a new requested privilege is significantly different from ones current practice, then training in the new privilege or proctoring of cases should be arranged, documented, and confirmed. This process and the number of cases necessary should be determined by the department chair and the credentials committee. If new technology is involved, then the CSC committee recommendations should be considered. 3. FPPE required as a result of peer review. The department chairman will establish a plan on an individual basis to be approved by the medical executive committee when focused evaluation has been recommended by the department peer review committee.

4. When a privilege is used infrequently. The department should determine a minimum number of cases to be performed to maintain proficiency. This should be denoted in the delineation of privileges plan. If the minimum amount is not being met, then the department chairman will establish a plan for focused evaluation. Duration of FPPE FPPE shall begin with the applicants first admission or performance of the newly requested privilege. Each department/division will determine the number of cases or charts to be reviewed. FPPE for new applicants should be completed by 3 months. This will allow for further evaluation, if indicated, prior to the end of the initial appointment cycle. All proctoring activity, summaries, and reports need to be completed prior to the end of the 12 month initial appointment cycle. If the FPPE has not been completed, then unrestricted privileges will not be granted. Supervision of FPPE Assignment of focused professional practice evaluations will be the responsibility of the department chair or division chief. The chair/chief may appoint active staff members to complete the appropriate tasks. Division consultants and medical directors should be utilized. It is recommended that each department establish a panel of proctors. Proctor Qualifications If proctoring is required, the following guidelines should be used: 1. Proctors must be in good standing of the active medical staff of MHMH. 2. The proctor must have unrestricted privileges to perform any procedure to be concurrently observed. 3. Proctors will be mutually agreed upon between the department chair and the physician being proctored. 4. The proctor may be a member of the same practice group as the physician being proctored. Responsibilities of Proctors 1. Proctor shall directly observe the procedure being performed, concurrently observe medical management or retrospectively review the completed medical record following discharge and will complete appropriate forms. 2. Ensure confidentiality of proctor results and forms. Submit completed forms to the medical staff office. 3. Submit a summary report at conclusion of proctoring period. 4. If at any time during the proctoring period the proctor has concerns about the practitioners competency to perform specific clinical privileges or care related to a specific patient, the proctor shall promptly notify the department chair. Medical Staffs Ethical Position on Proctoring Concurrent proctoring is one method of evaluation for competency for procedures that may be used. The proctor is not a mentor or a consultant. The proctor is an agent of the hospital. The proctor shall receive no compensation from any patient for this service. April 2008

ACCEPTED
The proctor or any practitioner, however, should nonetheless render emergency medical care to the patient for medical complications arising from the care provided by the proctored practitioner. The hospital will defend and indemnify any practitioner who is subjected to a claim or suit arising from his or her acts or omissions in the role of proctor.

Description of Forms in the Toolkit

Form 1000 Indicator/Criteria List and Data Source Matrix Each department and/or specialty needs indicators appropriate to the area of practice. The indicator/criteria for each department or division should be approved through the Medical Staff approval process. It will be important to identify the group accountable for providing the data so the data can be brought forward to the practitioner driven profile. Many of the indicator/ criteria will be consistent across the organization with the same data source. The ones that are approved for patient care are the ones that will change the most frequently from one department to another. Form 2000 Ongoing Professional Practice Evidence Based Data This form reflects the indicators/criteria presented for individual practitioners from the Departments/Divisions. The trigger level should be established by the medical staff. Form 3000 Periodic Report to the Department/Division Chair from the Quality Department This form provides an example of communication from the Quality Department or Medical Staff Office to the Department Chair/Division Chair outlining practitioners in their department or division that were at trigger levels. It will be important to your success that appropriate communication links are established and there is an appropriate action taken based on the trigger. Form 4000 Department/Division Responses Back to the Quality Department or Medical Staff Office This form provides an example of how the Department/Division chair starts to document the appropriate action taken based on the periodic review.
Important Notes
1. The example forms do not include utilization or resource data (LOS, Avg Charge, variance days, SIMS, etc), but this type of information should be included on the profiles. 2. The data/numbers in these examples are just thatexamples. Your facility will need to develop your own comparisons and targets. 3. Sample documents should be used as a guideline for developing your own unique documents that fit your healthcare organization. Make certain that you use criteria that your hospital has adopted and you follow all of your state and local laws.

As the Department Chair for Emergency Medicine, I have reviewed the results of the Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation for the above named physician. I have taken the following action: I reviewed the findings and no further action is needed at this time. I reviewed the findings and discussed them with the Practitioner. The practitioner has been informed that if the threshold is exceeded for two Quarters or more during this reappointment cycle, a focus review will be initiated based on the Peer Review Policy. I reviewed the findings and discussed them with the practitioner. As a result, I am recommending a focus professional practice review by the Peer Review Committee for April, May, and June 2007. The results should be forwarded to me as a part of the practitioners Quarterly review.
