Economic Credentialing - Abuse of Peer Review?
WILLIAM MACK COPELAND
Description: This program will review the concept of economic credentialing, including the American Medical Association's opposition to it, as well as several other professional associations who object to using economic criteria in the peer-review process. We will review the position taken by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services, Office of The Inspector General review of the concept. The program will conduct an in-depth review of several cases in which economic credentialing has been a prime consideration. Finally, the program will review the projected future on economic credentialing.
Recent cases indicate that economic credentialing is a potential minefield for hospitals considering its use in their credentialing decisions. There has been significant opposition to the concept from the American Medical Association as well as several other physician professional associations. Given the recent trend of hospitals and health systems purchasing and/or affiliating with physician practices, it would appear that economic credentialing will only increase in the future.
