Privileging - National Practitioner Databank
Publish | January 01, 0001
Can organizations use the National Practitioner Data Bank's (NPDB) "Proactive Disclosure Service" (PDS)for re privileging?
Use of
National Practitioner Data Bank's "Proactive Disclosure Service" (PDS) by an organization is acceptable for the ongoing NPDB information after the organization obtains an initial NPDB query for each practitioner. To demonstrate compliance in this area the organization would need to have record of a baseline query and then share with the surveyors that no updates have been received from the NPDB. There does not need to be documentation in the record that no further communication has been received. As with any NPDB information, the organization would review the PDS information received or confirm that no new information had been received, whenever they are granting a new privilege or renewing existing privileges.
