The FPPE Toolbox: Field-Tested Documents for Credentialing, Competency, and Compliance, Second Edition Juli Maxworthy, DNP, MSN, MBA, RN, CNL, CPHQ, CPPS, CHSE In order to be compliant with The Joint Commission's requirements of establishing and tracking practitioner competency using measurable data, MSOs must apply and adopt a standard framework defining the dimensions of privileged practitioners' performance. But just like all healthcare regulations, the focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE) of providers is a process that is constantly changing and being refined. With an evolving provider landscape and commensurate legal findings, knowing how to collect, organize, and document FPPE data is critical for all facilities. Failing to gather and organize sufficient FPPE data in a standardized way presents risks including redundancy, inconsistency across specialties, and inadequate articulations for practitioners regarding their role in FPPE. The second edition of The FPPE Toolbox: Field-Tested Documents for Credentialing, Competency, and Compliance provides an up-to-date, comprehensive resource with the forms and tools MSOs need to conduct and manage FPPE. This book provides compliant and customizable forms, policies, letters, scorecards, and reports that can be utilized in facilities of all types and sizes. Author Juli Maxworthy, DNP, MSN, MBA, RN, CNL, CPHQ, CPPS, CHSE, shares her expert knowledge so MSPs can create a cohesive competency documentation process at their organization.
