This program will discuss how to identify potential red flags, follow-up of these issues, and appropriate documentation of this follow-up.\nObjectives:\nAt the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:\n\nDiscuss today’s “red flags” and how they differ from those of the past\nDiscuss appropriate follow-up of information received in the application process\nDetermine how to document medical staff evaluation of red flags\n\n \nNovember 16, 2021 | 10:30 a.m. – Noon Central time\nEpic Fails: Avoiding Credentialing and Privileging Errors\nUtilizing case studies from such notables as Christopher “Dr. Death” Duntsch, and John Anderson King, we will delve into mistakes made in the credentialing and privileging process, lessons learned, and ways to avoid making these same mistakes. A brief discussion of negligence in credentialing will be included.\nObjectives:\nAt the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:\n\nDiscuss cases related to credentialing and privileging errors\nExamine why mistakes are made and understand how to avoid making credentialing and privileging errors\nRecognize the concept of negligence in credentialing and how negligence is determined in the credentialing and privileging processes\n\n \n \nNovember 23, 2021 | 10:30 a.m. – Noon Central time\nThe Aging Practitioner: Protecting Practitioner Rights While Guarding Patient Safety\nThe issue of the aging or late career physician and when to cease practice has been controversial for many years.  The natural aging process and specific diseases have the potential to adversely impact a clinician’s capacity to perform some or all of their requested privileges. When this occurs, medical staffs must assess the impact on the practitioner’s ability to perform requested privileges.  In this program, we will discuss options for dealing with this issue from the standpoint of protecting practitioner rights while guarding patient safety.\n \nObjectives:\nAt the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:\n\nDiscuss the recommendations of the American Medical Association and American College of Surgeons regarding screening for late career practitioners\nIdentify signs that a practitioner may be dealing with age-related impairments\nDetermine aspects of a policy for late career practitioners\nDiscuss the Yale New Haven EEOC Lawsuit and possible repercussions for hospitals with age-related policies\nEvaluate options other than age-related policies to address concerns\nDetermine ways to help the late career practitioner\n\n \nSpeaker\nKathy Matzka, CPMSM, CPCS, FMSS, is a speaker, consultant, and writer with over 30 years of experience in credentialing, privileging, and medical staff services.  Ms. Matzka worked for 13 years as a hospital medical staff coordinator before venturing out on her own as a consultant, writer, and speaker.  She holds certification by the National Association Medical Staff Services (NAMSS) in both Medical Staff Management and Provider Credentialing.
