Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPE) - Monitoring Timeline
Modify | April 11, 2016
What is the duration of the monitoring?
The Joint Commission does not define the duration of monitoring FPPE. A different approach could include high volume vs. low volume privileges or high risk vs. low risk privileges. For example, performing a focused review for a defined number of admissions such as the first 5, 10, 20, etc., or a defined number of procedures, such as 5, 10, 20, etc., or for a short period of time such as 1 month or 3 months. For an infrequently performed privilege numbers might work better than a time period especially if the privilege isn't performed in that time period.
