* EC: A Tool for You: Disaster Privileges for Emergency Volunteers[®] [REF: MD, SFT] EC News, October 2014, Vol 17, #10, Pg 9 JCe1410_B7

The [Pearl] is a two-paged privileging tool for licensed independent practitioners wishing to volunteer during a declared disaster/emergency (as indicated by activation of the Emergency Operations Plan).
Tip: This tool was derived from a five-page policy entitled,’Disaster Privileges for Volunteer Licensed Independent Practitioners (LIP) and Advanced Practice Providers (APP) by the Stanford Hospital and Clinics Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.  Since TJC apparently finds this tool acceptable/laudable, Med Directors should review this form/policy and consider adopting/adapting it to further support their process for privileging emergency volunteers.
