Reappointment and Re-privileging - Dates
How are reappointment/re-privileging dates determined ?
Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.
Due Dates
Reappointment/re-privileging is due no later than three^ years from the same date from the previous appointment or reappointment, or for a period required by law or regulation if shorter. For example, if the reappointment period is July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024, the reappointment date would be July 1, 2024.
Governing Body Approval Dates
The reappointment/re-privileging dates do not need to match the governing body approval dates. The governing body should be approving effective periods in advance of the expiration date. For example, in June, the board would approve all July reappointments/reprivileging effective periods and in July the board would be approving all August reappointments/re-privileging effective periods. It would not be necessary to keep changing the effective period to match the date the board actually met and approved the appointment/reappointment or privileges.
^ Additional information will be published in the December 2022 Perspectives Newsletter regarding a change to the reprivileging/reappointment time frame. The change will also be reflected in a future release date of the accreditation manuals.
