The Salem Hospital and West Valley Hospital Medical Executive Committees and Board of Trustees approved a revision to the Advanced Practice Provider (APP) privilege form criteria regarding collaborating physician co-signatures on admission and discharge.
Effective Jan. 7, the co-signature requirement was removed from Epic for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Associates who are not currently participating in a credentialing onboarding plan. Those APPs on an onboarding plan will require co-signature until such time the Board of Trustees approves that all elements of the onboarding plan have been fulfilled.
