During the recruitment process, hospitals often narrowly and incorrectly define a quality physician as one who provides excellent technical care—a good medical school, a renowned residency program, and stellar letters from program directors are the entrance ticket onto the medical staff.

Various accreditors require you to measure the competency of an advanced practice practitioner (APP), such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, based on the work they’ve done recently at your organization. However, when APPs are low-volume practitioners, meaning they don’t see enough patients or perform enough procedures to generate adequate competency data, it creates credentialing and privileging challenges for MSPs.
