PREP: Introductory
Information
The Practitioner Remediation
and Enhancement Partnership (PREP) seeks to apply the cooperative model of
nursing and physician health programs (also known as practitioner recovery
programs, widely used by hospitals and state licensing boards to monitor and
treat physicians with drug or alcohol problems,) to the problem of providers
whose clinical skills are considered in need of improvement, by their peers. In
the past, a number of reports have cited a reluctance to report colleagues as a
major factor in the failure to discover these providers. Citizen Advocacy
Center (CAC), Adminsitrators in Medicine (AIM: the Association of State Medical
and Osteopathic Board Directors), and the National Council of State Boards of
Nursing (NCSBN) are working together to develop pilot sites for this program.
If you have reviewed the public documents and would like to know more about
becoming a pilot site, or if you have comments or questions about PREP or this
site, contact us. |
