title: Multi-institutional privileging: a pilot demonstration project of the United States Navy and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
abstract: The U.S. Navy and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations have undertaken a 3-year multi-institutional privileging project. The concept involves granting privileges in one Navy facility that are recognized throughout the system during the staff appointment period. It entails: (1) use of specialty-specific standardized privilege lists, (2) designation of one authority at a time to grant the appointment with privileges, (3) use of a single credentials file during the practitioner's career, and (4) medical staff bylaws applicable to the entire system. The concept is potentially useful in other armed services, the Veterans Administration, and some civilian systems.
