Developing Issue: CMS and Temporary Privileges
Recently, during a NAMSS hosted webinar, CMS officials specified that in compliance with CMS’ Conditions of Participation, only the hospital governing body can grant privileges and that the process for granting temporary privileges must be the same as the process for credentialing and granting of full hospital privileges. This is in contrast to standards put forth by The Joint Commission (TJC), Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), and other accrediting bodies.
