Initially, we based the qualifications and threshold criteria for each clinical area of practice on: The residency core curriculum requirements published in the American Medical Association's Graduate Medical Education Directory The Credentialing Resource Center's Clinical Privilege White Papers Position papers published by professional academies and societies, such as the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Cardiology, and the American College of Radiology Board certification requirements based on information from the member specialty boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties and the American Osteopathic Association Customizing the core Privilege Forms The Joint Commission standards require that delineation of clinical Privileges is hospital-specific.
