MTS (Medical Training Solutions) out of the University of Washington is a fabulous resource for this kind of thing (www.medtraining.org). Online competency assessment for a full range of PPMP. No chasing down physicians (except electronically) or shuffling papers; easily managed from a remote perspective. Economical, as well. Very customer friendly. Can also develop your own custom competency modules. Great program -
we use MTS but it does not cover the 6 elements required for PPMP, so we use it as one of the 6 (unknown sample).
Joint Commission cited us for this issue back in 2014, and we developed a new system and competency form in response.
True...
You do have some N/A regarding the six elements, no? E.g. - QC, instrument maintenance, problem solving skills?
Just curious how reasonable/unreasonable J.C. was...

By documenting your name as the observer, you are verifying that the physician followed policy and procedure appropriately and is competent to perform this test.
*In areas where patient testing volume is very low, internal blind testing, old proficiency testing, or verbal explanation of procedure can be used for simulation of patient testing.
If the physician does not demonstrate satisfactory performance on the competency assessment and requires retraining and reassessment, document corrective actions/retraining.
