Acting as a how-to guide, this book provides the necessary steps for medical staff and credentialing leaders to successfully adopt a criteria-based system. In addition, it also lays out a road map to overcome the biggest challenges along the way, including obtaining buy-in from physicians and hospital leaders.

This book will help medical staff leaders:

  • Identify key tips on how to obtain staff buy-in
  • Identify a clear path of transition to criteria-based privileging
