Provider Credentialing | Healthcare Provider Credentialing | Provider Privileging | Provider Management
Provider credentialing and privileging are essential for healthcare quality, safety, and risk management. Improper credentialing and privileging can lead to patient harm and lawsuits, as in this example: A physician had completed a one-day training course in robotic hysterectomy, using pigs to learn the procedure. A hospital granted him privileges to perform the robotic procedure as long as a proctor privileged to use that technique was present for his first three surgeries. The physician performed his first robotic hysterectomy on a patient without the required supervision. That patient, who lost bladder function as a result of the surgery, sued the hospital for negligent privileging. In this case, the physician lacked the training and experience to safely perform the surgical technique.

Provider credentialing—the process of obtaining, verifying, and assessing the qualifications of a medical practitioner to provide care or services—is risky business. Improper credentialing can directly jeopardize patient safety and result in negligent credentialing lawsuits against the healthcare organization. At the center of every credentialing effort: primary source verification.
