MSPs and medical staff leaders do enough vetting for practitioner applications without worrying about tracking down and validating resources that support structurally sound credentialing and privileging processes. Featuring an array of field-sourced, expert-endorsed forms that facilitate regulatory compliance, policy development, and routine credentialing communications, The Credentialing and Privileging Toolbox lightens the administrative load so MSPs and medical staff leaders have more time for duties that foster high-quality care and patient safety. Inspired by our popular OPPE and FPPE toolboxes, The Credentialing and Privileging Toolbox offers a bevy of sample forms, policies, letters, plans, reports, and related resources that healthcare organizations of various scope, size, and service focus are currently using to execute effective practitioner vetting processes. Included tools, which come from in-the-trenches MSPs and medical staff leaders, have been curated and appraised by expert author Merella Schandl. The resulting collection reflects industry best practices, the wide range of modern healthcare entities that credential and privilege practitioners, and the various aspects of a successful vetting approach. Tools are arranged by type and topic for easy navigation. Within each tool, Schandl highlights key components and provides targeted analysis on tailoring the sample to individual facility needs.
