COVID19 Disaster Privilege FAQs

We would like to redeploy MDs to meet our workforce needs and to preserve the availability/health of our faculty. Do we need these redeployed MDs working in different roles to go through any credentialing?

 

(E.g. redeploying anesthesia faculty with limited current critical care experience to the ICU or Reproductive Endocrinology faculty with limited current labor and delivery experience to L&D.)

Physician Redeployment

Under the guidelines of disaster privileges, and for the limits of duration of the disaster, credentialing leadership has decided that the decision regarding appropriate redeployment within a Department rests with the Departmental leadership.

As long as the appropriate board certification or board eligibility is in place, the Medical Staff’s Credentials Committee ask that plans for proctoring and supervision be submitted to the Office of Medical Affairs and Governance (“OMAG” – medicalaffairs.ucsf.edu).

Please send your plans to the office’s executive director, Kosal Bo ([email protected]).   Service provided in new clinical areas should be voluntary and every effort should be made to ensure that the credentialed provider has adequate training and is receiving appropriate supervision.

Documentation of these decisions will allow full medical malpractice coverage for these providers.
 
Chiefs and chairs are required to send lists of faculty being deployed in a new area to help coordinate with OMAG.
