What is the length of time volunteer physicians and other licensed practitioners can provide care under the disaster privileging option?

Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.
 
Volunteer physicians and other licensed practitioners that have been granted disaster privileges may continue to provide care, treatment and services under the disaster privileging option (see EM.12.02.03) for the period of time the organization continues to operate under its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). Organizations should periodically assess the number and specialty of those volunteer physicians and other licensed practitioners initially granted disaster privileges to ensure the ongoing needs of the patient population are being met and that the medical staff can maintain oversight over practitioner performance. If an important patient care need continues at the time the organization discontinues operation of the EOP, the medical staff could either grant temporary privileges or consider granting full privileges.  NOTE: All Credentialing and Privileging must be consistent with applicable law, regulation and medical staff requirements.
