When an outside third party is used to proctor, it is always important to describe the parameters of the working relationship in a formal agreement or contract. This agreement must address the expectation that the proctor’s observations and findings will be kept confidential and patient information will not be disclosed.

In the 16th century, Francis Bacon coined the phrase, “Knowledge is power.” For MSPs, this could not be truer. As the gatekeepers of patient safety, every piece of knowledge that MSPs hold is crucial. MSPs vet practitioners, slowly gathering bits and pieces of information, to ensure that only high-quality, certified practitioners interact with and treat patients.
