To anyone who can help:

I am an IBCLC, certified in 2001.  I have recently recertified.  I have
only just been successful in getting the sister hospital to our medical
school (my employer) to recognize LCs as AHPs (Allied Health
Professionals). This should help in positioning LCs to receive referrals
in the hospital, to make assessments and plans, and to follow-up in the
clinic afterwards. 

 

In order to complete this credentialing process in this hospital
(Thomason General Hospital in El Paso, TX) I have been asked to provide
the Credentialing Committee with 1. Appropriate credentialing criteria
and 2. Appropriate peer review and performance indicators (by which to
evaluate a credentialed CLC's performance).

 

I have copies of "Standards of Practice for IBCLC LCs" and "Clinical
Competencies for IBCLC Practice" from ILCA, but I am not sure if these
are what they are asking for.  As you will notice from my signature
block , I am not an RN.  This sometimes puts me at an disadvantage
regarding the sort of technical jargon above.

 

Please, anybody who can tell me exactly what peer review and performance
standards might be, or who can send me some, It would really save me
time and humiliation.

Thanks, libby in El paso
