Medical Staff Credentialing and Peer Review (MSCPR) Practice Group. Strategic Plan FY 2016

Transcription

1 Medical Staff Credentialing and Peer Review (MSCPR) Practice Group 1. Current Status of the Practice Group Strategic Plan FY 2016 The MSCPR Practice Group has an engaged and energetic leadership team who has generated strong and innovative education programming for our membership in recent years and has established committees and work groups so as to increase active participation by our members. These efforts also have led to the development of useful and timely articles, analyses and other valuable work product for our members. MSCPR has a narrower focus than some of the other Practice Groups. The positive side of this is that it enables us to drill down deeply into those issues that are of particular interest to our members (such as our strong and diverse content around the new NPDB Guidebook), and also to stay attune to and out front of developing trends (such as our work in ACO Credentialing and PSOs). The negative sides include: (i) a perception that we are too narrow in our focus to attract wide membership; (ii) the danger of isolation and working at cross purposes with other PGs that have a broader focus but also put out content related to MSCPR issues. In addition, we are impacted by a significant evolution in the healthcare environment which is bringing about more fully integrated delivery systems and more universal physician employment. These industry changes have led to an erosion of the central authority and influence of the selfgoverning medical staff and a corresponding decrease in the number of attorneys specializing and self-identifying as medical staff attorneys. In order to stay vital, the MSCPR Practice Group will need to evolve its identity and its focus to encompass credentialing and peer review in a much wider context than the traditional hospital medical staff. The Group also needs to do a better job in communicating to the AHLA members the depth and breadth of the subject areas we cover so as to avoid the narrow perception that the MSCPR title conveys. The Strategic Plan for FY 2016 is designed to move MSCPR Practice Group forward along that path. 2. Mission and Vision The MSPCR Practice Group hereby adopts the following Mission and Vision Statement: The Mission of the MSPCR Practice Group is to be a timely and comprehensive educational resource on the full range of legal issues and emerging industry trends pertaining to health care practitioner credentialing, peer review and medical staff governance, both within and outside the hospital setting. The MSCPR Practice Group sponsors seminar and webinar presentations, articles, e-alerts, twitter, podcasts, and other educational opportunities, covering traditional issues such Medical Staff Bylaws, NPDB reporting, professionalism and peer review; and emerging trends such as the evolving accreditation and regulatory mandates, ACO/CIN credentialing, and Patient Safety Organizations.
