In addition to the date and name of the person requesting the information, which of the following should be included in the policy on access to physician quality files?

  1. Purpose of the request

  2. Requestor's contact information

  3. The credentialing application

  4. The practitioner privilege form

The correct answer is: Purpose of the request

Including the purpose of the request ensures that the person requesting the information understands the reason for access and can be held accountable for proper use. It also helps to determine if the request is within the scope of appropriate access. The other options, while important in the overall process of accessing physician quality files, do not directly pertain to the policy on access and therefore are not necessary to include in it.
