Featured Content | Bill would give green cards to practitioners | U.S. lawmakers are hoping to get green cards to physicians and nurses as soon as possible.

A similar bill was recently drafted by Republican senators: the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act would redistribute unused green cards that had been approved by Congress, allowing upwards of 40,000 medical providers to remain permanently in the United States and provide clinical care. |

Take time to develop a self-care plan | Overall wellness can be thought of as a wheel made up of different components, such as physical, mental, social, and psychological health. In an ideal world, each component will be fully realized, making the circumference of the wheel smooth. The problem is that the reality does not always work this way. If you map your wellness in each area, you might find that some of the components or areas are fuller than others. That resulting wheel is not very functional and will most likely lead to a bumpy ride. So what can you do to get closer to the ideal? Engage in self-care. |

CRC Member Exclusive | Expert Q&A: The fundamentals of delegated credentialing | As part of streamlining provider enrollment, more hospitals and health systems are seeking delegated credentialing from commercial payers on behalf of their medical groups or other provider organizations, such as a physician hospital organization (PHO) or independent practice association (IPA).
