The Joint Commission (TJC) has released a new Standards BoosterPak™ on MS.08.01.01 and MS.08.01.03, the Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE) and Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE).
TJC developed BoosterPaks to provide facilities and surveyors with more details on complicated standards to ensure that they are being interpreted consistently. The BoosterPaks can be accessed through your facility's Joint Commission Connect extranet site.

Question of the Week: OPPE, FPPE, and Allied Health
As this year comes to a close, many of us are looking for ways to make things more efficient and less complicated in both our lives and our work.
One area that gets complicated for MSPs is how to track OPPE and FPPE for allied health professionals (AHPs). We are supposed to monitor the performance of AHPs, but this is difficult to do since all AHPs have a sponsoring physician and credit for procedures are usually recorded in the physician's name, not the AHP's name.
Some facilities have addressed this problem by developing activity logs that allow their AHPs to keep track of procedures they performed. If your facility has implemented a best practice, we'd love for you to share it in the comment field.
The question of the week is, do you currently track OPPE and FPPE for allied health professionals? Provide your answer in the poll on the NAMSS Blog homepage.
