October 12 due date for CRC Symposium speaker applications
The deadline for CRC Symposium speaker applications is almost here!
Each year our Greeley consultants share expert credentialing and privileging advice during the Credentialing Resource Center Symposium. In 2010, we want to share the stage with talented voices from the field. Below are the four tracks we’ll cover at next year’s symposium at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV, May 6-7.
If you’re interested in presenting, please copy the fill information at the bottom of the page into an email, fill it out, and email it to Associate Editor Emily Berry at eberry@hcpro.com by October 12, 2009.
- Privileging Challenges and Solutions: Presentations in this track will provide attendees with the tools to master privileging trends for low-volume providers, advanced practice professionals, telemedicine providers, and create a common template from which to draft each practitioner’s privileges.
- Practitioner Competency Data: Presentations in this track will help participants create manageable and complete FPPE and OPPE documents using data collected from various departments, build working relationships with other departments to avoid duplicate work, and compile competency data to provide accurate practitioner assessments.
- Credentialing and the Law: Presentations in this track will explore legal do’s and don’t’s using case precedent as well as state and federal laws as a guide. Attendees will learn how to draft policies to avoid lawsuits and what evidence to present to win them.
- Medical Staff Services Department: Presentations in this track will aid the management of the medical staff services department (MSSD)—the ultimate hub of a practitioner’s universe. Session attendees will learn how to keep the MSSD running smoothly through budgeting, managing MSPs, organizing meetings, drafting bylaws, purchasing credentialing software and transitioning to a paperless office, acing an accreditation survey, and more.
