Psychiatric PRIVILEGES REQUEST FORM

INTRODUCTION

This Psychiatric Privileges Request Form is designed primarily for physicians who have completed a residency in psychiatry; (psychiatric privileges for nonpsychiatric physicians are listed in section VII of the Medical Privileges Request Form). It must be accompanied or preceded by a completed application for medical staff appointment, including the necessary supporting documents. Many clinical privileges pertinent to the practice of psychiatry are listed below. The request for privileges must reflect both the applicant's and the facility/staff's ability to carry out or support the various functions. Any additional requested privileges shall be presented in an attached list and referenced on this form under “other.”

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FORM

Applicant: With a check mark in the appropriate location, indicate for each item whether you are requesting limited or full privileges. Limited means that the applicant may function in the area of the stated clinical privileges only under the direct supervision of a provider holding full privileges. Full means that the applicant is entitled to function independently, following standards consistent with the medical community at large. Be sure to sign the request as indicated on page 6.

Discipline-specific supervisor or consultant: Indicate your recommendation for each requested clinical privilege by placing a check mark in the appropriate location for either full, limited, or not recommended (N.R.). Please explain any recommended limitations or denial of privileges on an attached sheet. Your recommendations are considered by the governing body when granting or not granting privileges.
