Reappointment

Reappointment is the periodic re-evaluation of a privileged provider at a facility, commonly occurring about every two years.

Reappointment is the facility's recurring process of re-evaluating a provider who already holds clinical privileges, typically conducted around every two years. It confirms that licenses, competence, and other qualifications remain current before privileges continue. Closely related to re-credentialing, reappointment is usually coordinated by the medical staff office and ties directly to a provider's privileging.
