FPPE and the NPDB Guidebook:
How to Address Reporting Challenges

Presented by:
Todd Sagin, MD, JD

Join this webinar on Wednesday, November 23, from 1:00–2:30 p.m. ET

The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) expanded its definition of “investigation,” forcing healthcare organizations to reassess when they must file a report with the NPDB on a physician. In this 90-minute webcast, expert speaker Todd Sagin, MD, JD, will provide an overview of the changes and delve deeper into the new requirements that will affect medical staff professionals, including sample NPDB reporting policies, potential changes facilities should make regarding focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE), and how NPDB reporting is applicable to advanced practice professionals (APP) and nonphysicians.Attendees will also learn what they should report to the NPDB regarding peer review, credentialing, and malpractice actions, plus what medical staff activities truly constitute a reportable investigation.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

Implement or revise a policy on reporting to the NPDB
Report FFPE, and other peer review actions, to the NPDB when necessary
Notify physicians about an investigation or the closure of an investigation
...And Much More!
