When implementing retrospective proctoring, it is important to standardize the approach. One good practice is to have medical records prescreened by a nonphysician reviewer (typically a nurse in the quality department). This pre-review is used to highlight major issues and concerns in the chart and to tab significant outcomes and can be used to abstract a basic outline of the clinical events. This makes retrospective proctoring more efficient and less burdensome on the time of a physician reviewer.

“Stepping into a new role as the system medical director for credentialing of a large health system, I needed to get up to speed on best practices in short order. The Credentialing Resource Center Symposium provided an intensive immersive experience that poised me to take on my responsibilities with the knowledge of effective and efficient best practices. I was able to hit the ground running. It also provided a great networking opportunity.”

 —Lisa Shea, MD, Medical Director at Butler Hospital and System Medical Director for Medical Staff Credentialing at Care New England Health System in Providence, Rhode Island
