Annual Report

Credentialing and privileging are designed to assess the competency of providers who deliver healthcare services to an organization’s patients. Most Medical Staff Professionals would say that their involvement in the credentialing, privileging and re-credentialing of providers is the critical factor in making MSPs the gatekeepers of patient safety.
