A Beginners Guide to Privileging
Special advanced privileges should be separated apart from the core primary privileges because they require either additional fellowship training , a manufacturer ’ s recommendation , or more specific training or experience . It is just as important to make sure that the provider does not inadvertently request privileges that they are not currently competent in or may not be able to perform because they have not completed the requisite training .
Components of a Privilege Form
Delineation of privileges will often vary by healthcare organization , but below are a few basics that should come standard for the majority :
• At the beginning of the privilege delineation , before the actual privilege details , the provider should see a section listing the required qualifications . The criteria should address any required education and training and board certifications ( if applicable ), as well as clinical experience activity and outcomes , when appropriate .
• After the required qualifications , privileges should be listed in detail . Core and primary privileges should be listed and separated into two sections : cognitive and procedural privileges .
