“How to do OPPE and FPPE with Minimal Resources”
Not so long ago…..
Practitioners would go from appointment to reappointment to
reappointment with little if any interim evaluation unless some
significant quality issue was identified (usually do to a poor
outcome or ‘near miss’).
What was the problem with this approach?
Not so long ago…..
Dr. Burroughs had the reputation of ordering too many CT scans in
his emergency medicine practice and he received several letters to
this effect in his confidential quality file.
What was the problem with this approach?
Quality Assurance-What’s the Problem?
“The maintenance of a desired level of quality through the search
for and elimination of negative outliers or defects.”
Ten years ago…..
“The decision to grant or deny a privilege(s), and/or to renew an
existing privilege(s) is an objective, evidence- based
process.”
---The Joint Commission MS.06.01.05
What does this mean?
The ongoing measurement and assessment of clinical performance for
all practitioners granted clinical privileges through the organized
medical staff
Who does this include?
Furthermore,
MS.08.01.03: OPPE information is factored into the decision to
maintain existing privilege(s), to revise existing privilege(s), or
to revoke an existing privilege prior to or at the time of
renewal.
A2: The type of data to be collected is determined by individual
departments and approved by the organized medical staff
Dimensions of Performance (ACGME, ABMS, The Joint
Commission):
• Patient care • Medical/clinical knowledge • Practice-based
learning and improvement • Interpersonal and communication skills •
Professionalism • Systems-based practice
Patient Care:
Provide care that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for
the promotion of health, prevention of illness, treatment of
disease, and care at the end of life
Patient Care: • Effectiveness
• Appropriateness – Peer review cases rated care less than
appropriate – Procedures/tests (e.g. CT) not meeting criteria
• Compassion – Patient/staff satisfaction
Medical Clinical Knowledge:
Demonstrate knowledge of established and evolving biomedical,
clinical, and social sciences, and the application of their
knowledge to patient care and the education of others
Medical Clinical Knowledge:
• Applying the knowledge – Retrospective or concurrent review
• Compliance with use of Evidence-based Medicine
–Physician-relevant core/SCIP measures –Compliance with medical
staff order sets (e.g.
DTV) – Observation/Testing
Practice-Based Learning and Improvement:
Use scientific evidence and methods to investigate, evaluate, and
improve patient care practices
Practice Based Learning and Improvement:
• Improvement – Excellent/improvement scores on feedback
report
(e.g. rate of conversions from reds/yellows to greens)
• Information technology use – Noncompliance with use of physician
electronic
medical record tools (e.g. CPOE)
Interpersonal and Communication Skills:
Demonstrate interpersonal and communication skills that establish
and maintain professional relationships with patients, families,
and other members of the health care teams
Interpersonal and Communication Skills:
• Written communication – Documentation audits (e.g. Timeliness of
H&Ps, OP
reports, discharge summaries Date/Time of entries, Illegible
orders)
– Suspensions for delinquent records • Verbal communication
– Patient satisfaction with physician communication – Collegial
satisfaction with consultations
• Cooperation – Incident reports of non-cooperation
Professionalism:
Professionalism:
call schedule or unresponsiveness to requests for evaluation
(medical screening exam)
Systems-Based Practice:
Demonstrate both an understanding of the contexts and systems in
which healthcare care is provided, and the ability to apply this
knowledge to improve and optimize health care.
Systems-Based Practice:
• Cost effectiveness and optimal resource utilization –
Severity-adjusted average LOS – Avoidable days due to physician –
Pharmacy cost per case – Cost per case – Late starts for 1st case
in OR due to surgeon
• Patient safety – Validated reported incidents of non-compliance
with
safety policies (e.g. time outs, infection precautions) – Hand
washing observation data
Step 1: Articulate Key Performance Expectations within each
Dimension of Performance
Patient Care: When available, utilize evidence based guidelines as
recommended by Departments and approved by the MEC Professionalism
and Interpersonal and Communication Skills: Respond to requests for
consultation in a timely and professional manner
Step 2: Create Relevant Performance Indicators/Metrics
Source of performance metrics: • Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality • National Quality Forum (national guideline
clearinghouse) • National Healthcare Quality Report • National
Committee for Quality Assurance • CMS/The Joint Commission •
Professional Societies
So many Metrics-Which do we Pick?
Where would you start? 1. Regulatory quality-hardwire! 2. Strategic
quality (physicians, management,
payers!, service, cost-effectiveness, safety, outcomes)
3. Calculate a return on investment (ROI) for strategic
initiatives!
Step 3: Set Targets for each Performance Indicator/Metric
Setting appropriate targets is of strategic importance! You may
choose targets based upon: • Internal data (historical) • External
data and benchmarking (e.g. literature
and professional societies) • Quality databases (e.g. Premier) •
Risk/Severity adjusted data
The Challenge with utilizing a single target: One target = two
performance levels 1. Acceptable ____________________ 2.
Unacceptable Issues: • No recognition of excellence (QA) • Focus on
identifying low performers • Assumes everyone else is the same • No
emphasis on improvement
A better approach: Two Targets Two targets = three performance
levels 1. Excellent performance _____________________________ 2.
Acceptable performance _____________________________ 3. Needs
Follow Up Issues: • Recognizes excellence • Stimulates middle group
to improve • Addresses marginal performance
Step 4: Classify all indicators/metrics
• Review- triggers a peer review every time (e.g. unexpected death
in a low acuity patient)
• Rule- triggers a peer review when a critical number of
occurrences is reached (e.g. number of validated conduct
issues/year)
• Rate- triggers a peer review when a critical rate is reached
(e.g. % of readmissions for the same dx within 72 hours)
Step 5: Prioritize all indicators/metrics and targets Patient Care:
Risk adjusted mortality index for all DRGs (rate). Green target
<0.9, Yellow target 0.9-1.1, Red target >1.1
Professionalism/Interpersonal and Communications Skills: Number of
validated conduct reports/year (rule). Green target <2, Yellow
target 2, Red target >2
Step 6: Create a weighted feedback report • Enable practitioners to
self-manage and self-
correct (The Hawthorne Effect) • Recognize excellence (greens) •
Stimulate improvement (reds and yellows) • Develop improvement
plans (reds) • Discuss to identify system barriers • Provide data q
8 months for ongoing
assessment and reappointment

Step 7: Create an OPPE Policy and Procedure • Create a process to
perform steps (1-6) • Who is accountable for each step? Who
provides oversight? • What data ‘counts’ for peer review
and/or
reappointment? Who determines? • What addresses data integrity? •
How does the MEC and BOT monitor?
Squeaky clean application:
Dr. Burroughs comes to you as a board certified emergency physician
with no history of malpractice settlements or claims and excellent
professional references.
What do you know about his clinical skills?
How would this have been handled seven years ago?
Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE): The more timely
and focused assessment of a clinical practitioner clinical
performance when exercising new privileges or when concerns are
raised regarding existing privileges
The Scope of FPPE varies:
1. Practitioners who are new to the staff (broad evaluation)
2. Practitioners who request ‘new’ privileges outside of their
‘core’ (narrower evaluation)
3. Practitioners who have concerns raised with existing privileges
(more specific evaluation)
The Type of FPPE varies:
1. Assessment of cognitive and procedural skills 2. May be
prospective, concurrent, and
retrospective 3. May be reciprocal and preemptive 4. May utilize
technology through tele-
proctoring, procedure recording, and simulation
Proctoring is NOT Precepting:
• Observational data • Objective criteria/scoring in different
dimensions
(e.g. patient care, professionalism, communication etc.)
• Ideally, multiple proctors for balanced assessment
Potential Issues:
• Need for intervention in rare occurrences • Concerns with
potential liability • Physicians don’t have the time (or want to
be
paid!) • Communication to patients and staff • Surveyor specific
proscriptions
FPPE Policy and Procedure: • Outline who is responsible for each
step in the
process • Who designs and develops specialty specific
proctoring plans? • Who provides oversight and addresses
potential
conflicts and conflicts of interest? • Should the proctor intervene
if an adverse
outcome is likely to occur? • How does the MEC and BOT monitor
and
indemnify?
How would you handle this issue today? The OR nurses report that
Dr. Unpopular has a higher number of perforations during
colonoscopy than her peers and that the medical staff should ‘do
something about it.’
