The single most important thing a medical staff can do after a policy has been implemented is to stick to that policy. Consistent enforcement and documentation are the best ways to ensure the least amount of liability.

Consolidation. Integration. These words have become the way we see our profession evolving in the world of centralized verification organizations (CVO). No longer do medical staff professionals focus on their individual departmental roles and responsibilities. We now embrace the process of combining departments and functions into a single, more efficient way to onboard and credential providers seeking employment within a healthcare system.

The Credentialing Resource Center (CRC) team is extending the deadline to enter the 2019 CRC Symposium Case Study Competition and the 2019 CRC Achievement Awards, two application-based contests showcasing excellence in the medical staff services and leadership fields.
