Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook enables your organization to systemize the tedious, ongoing, and mandatory process of credentialing your medical staff and to understand why you must! Healthcare organizations must have credentialed medical staffs to deliver their services. The reasons are two-fold: First, educated, licensed, experienced, and proven caregivers ensure that a hospital or medical practice is capable of delivering quality care. Secondly, payers require that the physicians and other licensed healthcare professionals are qualified and licensed to work with their patients. Before receiving payment for services, the provider must have specific credentials for providing that service. Verifying and documenting the credentials of a healthcare provider is tedious, ongoing, and mandatory. An organization with a large medical staff may struggle with keeping the credentialing function current, as many licenses have rolling expirations. Credentialing ensures that clinical practitioners are duly qualified, licensed, and board certified. It reports the history of malpractice claims, state-instituted sanctions, or other undesirable professional circumstances of providers. Credentialing and privileging of healthcare professionals protects patients and hospitals by minimizing the risk of medical errors that may result from the work of incompetent providers. It also undergirds the reputation and credibility of the institution in the eyes of providers and across the healthcare community. Further, credentialing with insurers forms the basis for reimbursement for professional services. Without the acceptance of the professional credentials of a provider, insurers and other third-party payers will not compensate his or her claims. The purpose of this book is to explain the necessity and to provide the process for the official documentation of each practitioner. The information presented in these chapters will serve as a practical resource for strengthening your organization's credentialing function. = Book Features! -Outlines the necessity for credentialing in the delivery of care and in attaining reimbursements for services provided -Explores options for in-house and outsourced credentialing function -Provides systematic process for ongoing credentialing operations

Cors, MD, MMM, FACPE An affordable, time-sensitive solution to medical staff leadership training. Physicians who accept or are assigned leadership positions are often left on their own to develop leadership skills and educate themselves about their responsibilities as medical staff leaders. Just because a physician is a great clinician does not mean he or she is a great leader. The challenges of being a successful medical staff leader are twofold: You must be well-versed in your role and responsibilities (i.e., peer review, credentialing, medical staff bylaws), and you must inspire other medical staff members to follow the rules while continuing to deliver excellent patient care. A well-trained medical staff leader is vital to the culture of a hospital''s medical staff and can save a hospital from the expense of lawsuits affiliated with negligent credentialing/peer review. This book aims to teach physicians how to become great medical staff leaders and how to motivate other medical staff members on topics such as: AHP credentialing and supervision Reappointment challenges Physician-hospital competition Liability risks Medical staff disharmony and distrust Table of Contents Chapter 1: Where to Begin?

G: Governance-an organized medical staff requires governance in order to function. But what does that have to do with credentialing? M: Meetings-medical staff management in "minutes."
