Negligent credentialing cases have picked up steam in recent years, but for the medical staff office, litigation poses less of a threat than shepherding practitioners through the application process against MSPs' better judgment. During HCPro’s webinar, Negligent Credentialing: Best Practices to Prevent Successful Plaintiff Litigation, Mark A. Smith, MD, MBA, FACS, senior consultant with HG Healthcare Consultants, LLC, and chief medical officer for MorCare LLC, helped listeners brush up on the basics of negligent credentialing.

Their governance, by extension, demands an engaged and innovative approach.
