Reappointment
Fairview System Credentialing Office
What is Reappointment?
- Reappointment is the process of re-evaluating a practitioner’s current competency after they have been appointed to the medical staff or professional staff at a Fairview entity.
- Approval of both initial appointments and reappointments are for 24 months. The Joint Commission hospital accreditation standards require all practitioners complete a reappointment process every 24 months.
- A practitioner’s reappointment must be approved by the Fairview entity(ies) Board of Directors prior to expiration of the initial appointment or previous reappointment.
- Fairview reappoints each practitioner via a schedule based on first letter of last name. Some practitioners may be reappointed "out of sync" depending on their initial approval date in relation to the current reappointment schedule.
Reappointment Process
- Fairview System Credentialing Office Reappointment Staff will send each practitioner a reappointment packet approximately five months prior to their reappointment expiration.
- Practitioners need to complete the reappointment form, checking whether the demographic information currently in our database is correct and completing new disclosure questions.
- At this time Fairview is not accepting reappointments via the Minnesota Credentialing Collaborative (MCC) ApplySmart web-based credentialing application.
- Practitioners also must complete a new privilege form indicating the privileges they want to perform upon reappointment. Documentation required for any requested privileges must be submitted with the reappointment packet.
- Fairview System Credentialing Reappointment Staff processes each practitioner’s reappointment paperwork upon receipt.
- Completed reappointments are sent to the Fairview entity(ies) Medical Staff Office for review and approval by the Board of Directors prior to the practitioner's reappointment expiration.
Submit completed reappointment credentialing application and privilege form(s) with all required supporting documentation to:
