According to CMS, delineation of clinical privileges must be hospital-specific. Therefore, when developing your core privileging system, list only those services and procedures that your hospital currently provides; e.g., an activity/task/procedure that the hospital can support and is conducted within the hospital. Do not include services and procedures that your hospital might offer in the future—the forms will not be hospital-specific if they contain services that the hospital does not currently provide.

Physicians, did you know that you can hack your way to faster and better sleep? The best part is that it’s through music. A certain type of music, called binaural beats, can alter the brain’s frequency of delta wave production, which are the brain waves that enable a person to fall asleep. For physicians, this can be an excellent way to take advantage of strategic napping.
