Vanderbilt University Medical Staffand Vanderbilt Medical Group MeetingJune 28, 2012 Credentials Committee Report Steven Meranze, M.D.
Organizational Structure • The Credentials Committee (Steven Meranze) Participating sub-committees • Children’s Hospital Credentials Committee (Gregory Mencio) • Joint Practice Committee (Clare Thomson-Smith) • Provider Support Services Office (Danielle Midgett)
Credentials Committee • Representation of the major clinical specialties, including behavioral health, the hospital-based specialties and the Medical Staff at large • Meets monthly • Synopsis of duties (see Bylaws): • To evaluate the credentials and performance of all applicants for Medical Staff membership and reappointment • To review recommendations from the Joint Practice Committee regarding the credentials, performance, and supervisory arrangements of all Certified Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse Midwives, Physician Assistants, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Allied Health Practitioners who apply for privileges to practice at VUMC. • To report to the Medical Center Medical Board on each applicant for Medical Staff or other professional staff recommendation to the Medical Center Affairs Committee (MCAC). Reports and recommendations regarding Medical Staff and other professional staff appointment and delineation of practice privileges shall include consideration of any recommendations from the Service in which the candidate requests privileges; • To investigate any breach of ethics that is reported to it. • To review reports of Medical Staff or other professional staff member performance or conduct issues that are referred to it, and to provide peer review in response to competence or performance inquiries.
Timeliness of File Review and Approval • Influenced by many factors • Licensure and DEA • Verification (all education, hospital affiliations and work history) • Faculty appointment • Trust coverage/ Claims history • Competency documentation • Incomplete application • Affects practice planning (personal and division) • Enrollment considerations (NCQA) • Increased need for expedited credentials committee meetings
National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified Credentials Verification Organization (CVO) • Develop delegated credentialing agreements with managed care organizations (MCO) • Delegate MCO credentialing activities to Vanderbilt. VMG providers who are approved through the VUMC Credentials Committee review process are “automatically” enrolled in ~43 managed care plans versus each provider completing and submitting separate applications to each of these organizations • Creates an additional layer of complexity and scrutiny to credentialing activities • Files >120 days are considered “expired” and require re-submission and re-verification
Expedited Credentialing • Expedited credentialing: Provider is reviewed and approved for privileges by an agent (subcommittee) of the governing body (MCAC) • Defined exclusion criteria • Legitimate action to answer immediate needs (e.g. critical staffing issues) • Large number may reflect system limitations
FutureInitiatives • Paperless credentialing • E-file “secure transfer “(Accellion) • Electronic signature - “Pronto System” • Phased implementation • Improved interface with the Faculty Information System for Faculty Appointments
