Pink Flags Webcast

Presented on:
Tuesday, August 16, 2016
1:00–2:30 pm ET

Presented by:
Carol S. Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS

Without thorough and comprehensive credentialing processes, medical staff leaders (MSL) and medical staff professionals (MSP) may inadvertently allow undesirable practitioners to be employed and/or initially appointed to the medical staff and granted clinical privileges. Learning how MSLs and MSPs can identify, investigate, and report the subtler “pink flags” on medical staff applications is vital during the initial application process. Once you can identify pink flags in a practitioner’s history, you can greatly reduce medical and legal risk to your organization—and, in turn, keep your patients safe.

During this 90-minute webcast, expert speaker Carol S. Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS, will discuss how to identify subtle issues on medical staff applications, develop a process for bringing practitioner competence and behavioral issues to the surface, dissect peer references, and create a plan to further investigate practitioner competence issues.

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

Identify subtle issues on medical staff applications that require investigation
Develop a process for bringing practitioner competence and behavioral issues to the surface in the credentialing process
Create a plan for further investigating and managing practitioner issues
Dissect peer references to look for discreet clues about a practitioner’s performance
Avoid legal risk by sending erroneous information to other organizations
