Once the OPPE/FPPE program is fully designed and implemented, an oversight committee must ensure that the various steps of the process occur as expected and that practitioners adhere to the procedures. An ineffective (but common) approach to program oversight is having the medical staff quality committee, peer review committee, or credentials committee review all OPPE reports. This approach duplicates the work of medical staff leaders, who have already reviewed the reports.

Development of The Credentialing and Privileging Toolbox is underway! The 2017 title will feature first-class, field-sourced credentialing and privileging resources, along with expert commentary on what makes them so great. Think The OPPE Toolbox and The FPPE Toolbox but with practitioner vetting–focused tools.

CRC's Achievement Awards honor MSPs and medical staff leaders who make a difference in their organization and serve as an inspiration to the broader professional community. Now is the chance to recognize a colleague (or yourself!) for contributing to the success of the medical staff services field. Winners will be honored at the 2017 CRC Symposium, April 6-7, in Austin, Texas.
