Session Description: It is essential to avoid negligence credentialing claims. Good credentialing and privileging practices require strict adherence to the rules and policies that you create for yourselves. This program takes you on a Rogues Gallery tour of who well-meaning medical staff organizations that allowed their desire to get a physician on board in the most expeditious way possible to trump good credentialing and privileging procedures. You can avoid these legal traps by learning from these "system failures" and reminding yourselves that you are the true gatekeepers of your organization.
Learning Objectives:

learn how to avoid common credentialing and privileging pitfalls that lead to negligent credentialing claims.
