Book excerpt: The newly updated Fifth Edition of Peer Review Guidebook is a comprehensive resource for understanding the peer review process and disciplinary proceedings involving physicians.Peer review in the health care setting has numerous elements, and while there are few fixed definitions, the essence of the process addresses physician credentialing, privileging, and professional evaluation, both ongoing and focused practice evaluation. Health care entities conduct peer review for multiple reasons, including improvement of care, protection of patients from harm, and improvement of physician performance. While the initial process begins when a practitioner applies to be a member of the medical staff or gain privileges at a hospital or other health care provider, latter elements can include potential reduction or denial of privileges to those under review. The critical guidance for peer review is found in the Health Care Quality Improvement Act (HCQIA), which offers immunity from monetary damages for those individuals and institutions that participate in an adverse professional review action relating to the competence or professional conduct of a physician, provided that its procedural requirements are followed.Edited by Barbara Blackmond, Charles J. Chulack, Joshua A. Hodges, Lauren M. Massucci and Daniel Mulholland, this updated edition contains information about HCQIA and its impact on the peer review process, suspension of privileges, injunctive relief from peer review actions and the effect of the privacy rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act on peer reviews. The title also provides a multitude of citations to cases, regulations, and other sources. In addition, the appendices include a listing of cases in which physicians have alleged violations of the American Disabilities Act, cases dealing with physician-behavior issues, a comprehensive list of exclusive-contract case law, cases decided under HCQIA , and numerous others that address the peer review process.The eBook versions of this title feature links to Lexis Advance for further legal research options.

This valuable reference guide addresses, defines, and explains your toughest topics in alphabetical order, including: A: Applications-where all credentialing processes start, and possibly end. APPs-are advanced practice professionals processed through the medical staff services department or human resources? B: Bylaws, policies, and rules and regulations-do you know where your medical staff information is? C: Credentialing-the right information to verify, and the correct way to do it. G: Governance-an organized medical staff requires governance in order to function. But what does that have to do with credentialing? M: Meetings-medical staff management in "minutes." P: Peer evaluations, FPPE, and OPPE-who's a peer? Who's a good peer? Privileging-the whens and hows of core privileges, disaster privileges, emergency privileges, and temporary privileges of all stripes. R: Reappointment-building and sticking to a cycle. Red flags-spotting them, stopping them, and getting answers. V: Verification-the querying process, the organizations, and the information they provide. X, Y, and Z: Xenon, yag lasers, and zero data (mastering medical terminology-no, CABG isn't "cabbage") Credentialing A to Z provides new MSPs and credentialing coordinators on-the-job spot training that will build and test their knowledge in a fun way before they're put to the test with less-fun credentialing challenges (such as surveys).
