New Privilege Applicant Letter

Dear Colleague: Assessing practitioner competency has always been the responsibility of medical staffs. In 2008, CMS mandated Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE) for any applicant granted new privileges and Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) to assess ongoing competence. Because you are either a new applicant to our health system (welcome!) or an established practitioner requesting a new privilege (thank you for adding to our clinical expertise!), you will need to go through a period of focused review to be sure our patients always experience the safest care possible.

When you meet with your Department Chair to discuss your application, he or she will work with you to develop an FPPE plan. The plan will require an evaluator (supervising/collaborating physician for AHPs) to oversee your work for a specific number of cases. The oversight may involve direct observation, chart review, simulation lab experience, or interviews with staff you work with. The Plan will be submitted to the Credentials Committee with your application for approval. Most Plans are completed within six months.

The Department Chair will expect you to designate a person as your primary evaluator for the Plan and indicate his/her name and phone number below. For physicians, your evaluator can be a partner or someone who already has the privilege for which you are applying. For AHPs, it will be your primary supervising/collaborating physician. Please have your primary evaluator name ready at the time of your interview with the Department Chair. If you do not know someone who could evaluate you, the Department Chair will advise you. You may also have additional evaluators, but there must be one person responsible for completing your evaluation.

Once the Credentials Committee has approved your application and Plan, you will be given a packet including the forms necessary to complete the FPPE process. The packet will be emailed to you and will contain information to complete the forms. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Medical Staff Services or the Credentials Verification Office 614-546-3540 or email [email protected]. Thank you, and welcome aboard!

Please complete and return to the CVO with your application packet:
