Learn MoreIn today's healthcare landscape, ensuring that your medical professionals are properly qualified and authorized to provide specific patient care services is a critical responsibility. This process involves two primary components: credentialing and privileging. Understanding the distinction between the two and how to execute each function will empower your organization to ensure competent providers deliver next-level patient care.
Credentialing is evaluating and confirming various qualifications of healthcare practitioners, such as licensure, education, training, and certifications. It is the foundation for assessing a practitioner's eligibility to provide medical services within a healthcare organization.
Privileging, however, involves authorizing a healthcare practitioner to perform specific clinical activities or procedures within their scope of practice. Unlike credentialing, which focuses on qualifications, privileging determines the specific patient care services a practitioner can deliver.
Implementing a fair credentialing and privileging process promotes patient safety, regulatory compliance, risk management, quality standards, and good institutional governance. A thorough process includes the following seven steps:
Both credentialing and privileging are painstaking processes that require diligence and attention to detail to be executed properly. If your organization relies on manual processes and disjointed point solutions, you may encounter inefficiencies, errors, and delays that jeopardize patient safety and your bottom line.
