AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ON-DEMAND

Sponsored by The FPPE Toolbox: Field-tested Documents for Credentialing, Competency, and Compliance

presented on October 8, 2008

OPPE data: What do you collect, how do you collect it, and what do you do with it?

Despite the fact that ongoing professional practice evaluation (OPPE) has been around for a while, it isn’t getting any easier or clearer. MSPs still struggle with knowing how to recognize the “right” data amid a glut of statistics, what to do with that data, and how to effectively apply it to the reappointment process. Documenting physician competency and managing performance over time continues to be a universal challenge.

Learn to master the OPPE process through data validation and feedback processes.

Listen to HCPro's OPPE by the Numbers: Get the Right Data and Use it Effectively. This 90-minute audio conference drills down into OPPE data and processes to help you understand what kind of data you need to collect for various practitioner types and specialties, as well as how you can go about collecting that data. Our expert speakers provide field-tested strategies to help you:

• Map data to the reappointment profile
• Select and prioritize physician performance indicators
• Create a physician feedback report
• Ensure compliance with Joint Commission requirements
• Deal with additional data-collection questions that are a part of the OPPE reappointment challenge
