Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE)

OPPE involves a peer review process, where practitioners are reviewed by other practitioners of the same discipline and have personal knowledge of the applicant. The assessment must have both quantitative performance data and a narrative assessment, preferably given by more than one fellow practitioner.

OPPE is required for the purpose of performance improvement and identifying trends and issues that could adversely affect patient outcomes. A well-designed OPPE process includes both qualitative and quantitative data that support re-privileging decisions every two years.

A well-designed OPPE process includes both qualitative and quantitative data that support re-privileging decisions every two years. An average cadence is every eight months so at a minimum three sets of data are collected over a two-year period. An annual evaluation is considered periodic, and not ongoing.

Joint Commission standards are the basis of an objective evaluation process that can help health care organizations measure, assess, and improve performance. The standards focus on important patient, individual, or resident care and organization functions that are essential to providing safe, high quality care.
