Horty Springer: Peer Review Best Practices with Paul Verardi – The Deep Dive - PART 4

Part 4 — OPPE, FPPE to Confirm Competence and Professionalism, and Addressing Medical Necessity and Utilization Concerns Are Essential Components of Modern PPE

After 30 years of working in the trenches with physician and hospital leaders, and after conducting innumerable onsite training sessions and national courses, HortySpringer’s Paul Verardi has now created a series of “on demand” training educational courses for physician leaders and hospitals.  

This series is designed to be viewed as a whole, with the sessions being like gears in a watch.  But it has also been developed so that if you only need assistance with several aspects of this complex area, each individual session delivers on our commitment to provide you with substantive, concrete guidance and to not waste one single minute of your time – i.e., the “no fluff” rule!

 
 
 
 
 
 

Target Audience

This course was designed for hospital administrators, physicians and clinicians who need to be better informed about how to manage and possibly improve their overall performance.
