healthcare compliance and credentialing

The healthcare industry is in the midst of massive transformations. Mergers, acquisitions, increasing government regulations and a changing reimbursement landscape necessitate hospitals to find new ways to contain costs, increase their efficiency and improve patient safety.

Provider data management vendors have been compelled to stretch beyond their original scope to meet the rapidly changing needs of their customers. The rapid evolution in the reimbursement and regulatory environment has driven the increasing demand from hospitals and other healthcare organizations for more innovative provider credentialing software solutions.

Hospitals are increasingly challenged by healthcare compliance laws and changing regulatory standards. Healthcare institutions need to continually evaluate their hospital’s compliance training, technology adoption, and delivery of care while simultaneously balancing staff shortages, privacy and security concerns, and their ability to meet accreditation standards.

Negligent credentialing puts patients at risk and exposes hospitals, healthcare facilities, and urgent care centers to significant legal liability.

Preventing medical errors that can jeopardize patient safety is a constant challenge within the healthcare industry. Hospital and urgent care center staff, especially, are under incredible pressure to make sure that their providers are competent and capable practitioners, providing the best care possible.

Your Medical Staff Office (MSO) is the hub where patients, providers, and regulations meet. Many medical staff offices center around working efficiently to manage providers and following policies and procedures to ensure your operations remain compliant. How can you ensure that your staff stays efficient and doesn’t waste time and resources? Strong performance starts with tightly managing and enhancing the four areas many MSOs struggle with.
