procedure
• New service added to
hospital
• New specialist
57

Adding New Privileges
• First determine:
– Board approval for the service/procedure
– Required equipment
– Necessary support staff

![Page 59: Updated January 2018 - NAMSS Resources... · –MEC final recommendation is adverse or has limitations 27. Expedited Credentialing (continued) • Case-by-case basis evaluations,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051910/5fff260d239cb316b717b16c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
New Privileges: Issues
• Does the hospital support the new procedure?
• What training/experience is required?
• Are there any other requirements?
– CME, board certification, training course, peer
recommendations
• Will proctoring be required?

professional service is located.62

healthcare providers
