|
||
<b>Profiling in Initial Provider Credentialing</b>
|
||
</p><p>Provider profiling is critical to initial credentialing for new candidates applying to a healthcare facility. The facility transfers data for the profile from the applicant directly and from data banks, training programs, schools, peers, previous practice sites, and background. The information must be verified as a primary source (PSV) by the issuing body as much as possible. PSV applies particularly to certifications, licenses, diplomas, and peer references. An initial application checklist typically consists of 20 to 30 items in length and commonly takes 60 to 90 days to complete and to be verified by the institution (see <b>Image</b>. Initial Application Checklist). Verification involves querying multiple databases, including the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), and others (see <b>Image.</b> Verification Databases). Upon file completion by the Medical Staff Office (MSO), the application is reviewed by the Credentials Committee and, if accepted, is forwarded to the MEC and then to the facility's Board of Directors (BOD) for final approval.</p><p>
|
||
<b>Profiling for the Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE)</b>
|
||
</p><p>FPPE is a standard process mandated by the Joint Commission and used by medical facilities and the medical staff when a practitioner needs a focused plan to assess and ensure the practitioner delivers high-quality patient care. There are 2 types of FPPE. One is a proactive FPPE assigned to all providers new to the institution who are undergoing initial credentialing and privileging. The second type of FPPE is a reactive FPPE that occurs in response to a red flag or triggering event in an already established provider.</p><p>The institution must establish 4 vital elements as mandated by the Joint Commission: the evaluation criteria, privilege-specific monitoring methods, duration of monitoring, and reasons to refer for external monitoring.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r13">[13]</a> This proactive FPPE process is required for all new medical staff appointments. It is routinely implemented as a part of the final phase of credentialing and privileging and must be completed within 6 months of hiring.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r6">[6]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r7">[7]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r9">[9]</a> The procedure for new physicians involves incorporating essential facility-based data into the provider's profile to authenticate proficiency in specific competency areas.</p><p>Proactive FPPEs should be clearly defined and consistent for new privileges but can be specific to the institution, specialty, and the distinct privilege requested.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r3">[3]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r7">[7]</a> Still, suppose the incoming new staff member has a history of red flags or concerns in 1 or more core competencies based on their incoming profile. In that case, the FPPE will also be customized to address those specific concerns. The FPPE process can include any data-gathering modality from retrospective chart review to direct observation and proctoring. Action plans for areas of improvement are developed based on FPPE reports and can consist of suggested interventions over a specified period for both clinical and citizenship issues.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r10">[10]</a> A remediation plan is required in cases of recurring errors or if the errors do not pass the substitution test, indicating that another provider with equivalent training would not have committed similar errors.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r14">[14]</a></p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Actions for clinical concerns may include focused chart reviews, direct observation or mentoring with a senior or expert provider, participation in quality improvement activities, focused continuing education or simulation training, and monitoring of performance data for procedures, interventions, and admissions.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r14">[14]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r8">[8]</a>                                                                                                                                                        </div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Actions for citizenship issues may include referral for counseling for behavioral or potential substance use, anger management, professionalism training, or leadership development.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r8">[8]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r14">[14]</a></div></li></ul><p>Potential outcomes after FPPE include closure without further action, referral for external review (especially novel procedures), continued direct observation or supervision, a letter of reprimand, and rarely suspension or termination of privileges.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r15">[15]</a> Standardization of the peer review process is essential to prevent abuse or litigation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r16">[16]</a> This often requires training, structured assessments, and inter-rater agreement.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r16">[16]</a> Institutional use of performance data must be valid and fair to avoid inappropriate or detrimental consequences to providers.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r17">[17]</a> The peer review process is protected from retaliatory litigation from providers who have lost privileges by the 1986 federal Healthcare Quality Improvement Act, which requires good faith, confidentiality, and opportunity for a fair hearing before final adverse action.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r15">[15]</a></p><p>Reactive-type FPPEs can be implemented for current medical staff providers to address concerns reported to the Multidisciplinary Peer Review Committee (MPRC) or the Provider Advocacy/Professionalism Committee (PAC). Typically, in this circumstance, the appropriate committee manages FPPE implementation and tracking as a collegial intervention with oversight. Escalation to the MEC occurs when the issue demands a formal process or action. This escalation occurs most commonly for patterns of noncompliance or isolated severe events. Triggers for reactive FPPEs for current medical staff providers can include a variety of clinical, citizenship, or health concerns.</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Clinical triggers for an FPPE might include incidents identified through peer review or complaints from staff, patients, or families. Additionally, the occurrence of sentinel events necessitates a review within 3 days and completion of a systemic improvement plan within 30 days.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r8">[8]</a> Other triggers may include a high complication rate, recurring near misses, or a pattern of adverse events. Instances of malpractice suggesting deviations from the standard of care, particularly those involving purposeful behavior, reckless disregard, or gross negligence, could also prompt an FPPE. Furthermore, a low volume of procedures, especially when no data is available, and falling below established threshold values for OPPE clinical performance indicators, often by 2 standard deviations, are noteworthy considerations.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r3">[3]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r18">[18]</a>                             </div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Citizenship triggers for an FPPE may encompass breaches of the medical staff code of professionalism, including unethical or illegal behavior, poor judgment, and concerns regarding inappropriate or disruptive conduct.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r14">[14]</a> Factors such as low performance on board examinations or failure to maintain certification can also prompt an FPPE.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r14">[14]</a> Inclusion in the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB), which identifies providers sanctioned for insurance billing fraud and abuse in healthcare delivery, is another significant trigger. Similarly, being listed in the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), now consolidated with the HIPDB into "The Data Bank," is indicative of issues such as medical malpractice payouts, loss or restriction of professional society membership, certification, licensure, and privileges, exclusion from federal or state healthcare programs, sanction by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), or healthcare-related criminal convictions or civil judgments.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r10">[10]</a>                                                                        </div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Health concern triggers for an FPPE might include age, physical, cognitive, or mental health issues or disabilities, and requires a fitness-to-work evaluation per the Americans with Disabilities Act.</div></li></ul><p>

</p><p>Healthcare institutions and the medical staff use Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) to monitor providers' continuing performance and competency as required by the Joint Commission.</p><p>Profiling of provider performance metrics is critical to the OPPE process and focuses mainly on outcome variances. The OPPE process is intended to help ensure the quality of care with continuous tracking, feedback, and action plans directed to areas where opportunities for improvement are identified.

|
||
<b>Profiling for Adverse Events or Professionalism Issues</b>
|
||
</p><p>Incident reports related to performance or professionalism need to be assessed within the framework of the provider's existing OPPE profile report. A significant procedure complication known to occur at an established rate may be unavoidable. However, suppose a practitioner has an ongoing complication rate significantly above their peers or above a national standard. In that case, an FPPE followed by a corrective plan may be indicated. Typically, this would be an action following a Multidisciplinary Peer Review Committee (MPRC) review and recommendation.</p><p>Similarly, a practitioner who receives a complaint regarding a professionalism or conduct concern will be referred to a medical staff Practitioner Advocacy/Professionalism Committee (PAC) for review. If the occurrence is severe or demonstrates a pattern of behavior, an FPPE followed by an action plan for correction or an escalation to the MEC may be implemented. Corrective plans for professionalism often involve the escalation of intervention methods stepwise based on the severity of the incident in the context of the profile of previous events.</p><p>
|
||
<b>Profiling at Reappointment to the Medical Staff</b>
|
||
</p><p>All practitioners must undergo reappointment to the medical staff on a schedule of at least every 3 years. The reappointment process involves a comprehensive assessment of the practitioner's current performance profile with the institution and the medical staff. The OPPE report, in conjunction with a current query of the same databases accessed in initial credentialing (see <b>Image.</b> Reappointment Checklist), establishes the foundation element for review by the Credentials Committee and the Chair of the Department. The reappointment profiling report determines whether the provider will receive an unconditional membership reappointment to the medical staff versus a conditional reappointment or is not recommended for reappointment. Individual privileges are also evaluated similarly to decide on the continuation or revocation of each privilege. The recommendation by the Credentials Committee is forwarded to the MEC and then to the facility's Board of Directors for final approval.</p></div><div id="article-155650.s3"><h2 id="_article-155650_s3_">Clinical Significance</h2><p>Provider and healthcare worker profiling is a critically important part of the credentialing and privileging process. Credentialing and privileging are performed thoroughly and completely to ensure a competent medical staff capable of delivering the required high-quality care. While there is limited evidence linking quality measures to peer performance, and no studies have yet evaluated the impact of peer evaluation on patient outcomes, the consistent utilization of profiling through the OPPE process is believed to have a positive influence on continuing education, procedural currency, professionalism, patient safety, and judicious resource utilization.

While each member's knowledge and skills may differ, the overall care delivered hinges on the interprofessional understanding of the other members' roles on the team and the need for high-level communication. Referral for peer review can be made confidentially by any institutional employee.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-155650.r15">[15]</a></p><p>Institutional staff services are essential to the peer review process, including data analysts for data analysis, monitoring, and reporting; and staff office professionals and administrative assistants for meeting management, administrative tasks, documentation, supervision of root-cause-analyses, and process oversight according to staff bylaws.</p><p>Physicians, physician assistants/associates (PAs), advanced practice nurses (APNs), pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals perform effectively to provide patient-centered team-based care, but only if their presence on the team is established through comprehensive profiling at their initial privileging and with ongoing revalidation throughout their careers.
