Their top-of-mind subject matter includes practitioner onboarding, medical staff membership, privileges for new technology and telemedicine, job descriptions for credentialing personnel and medical staff leaders, APP vetting, and adverse actions.

In addition to the array of sample forms, The Credentialing and Privileging Toolboxis chock-full of expert guidance that eases the transition from page to practice. Chapter introductions provide contemporary context, while targeted analysis within each tool highlights areas worth emulating and offers tips for tailoring content to fit facility needs.

  • A comprehensive, one-stop alternative to researching one-off sample forms and developing materials from scratch.
  • A convenient way to customize. In addition to hard-copy forms and guidance, book purchasers get downloadable, customizable versions of each featured form, plus several bonus tools.
