From Frustration to Function: Master Delegated Credentialing With This New Webinar!
Hospitals, physician group practices, and other entities routinely seek methods to create efficiencies in getting individual practitioners enrolled with health plans. Delegated credentialing (i.e., credentialing by health care organizations on behalf of health plans) is one method that organizations can use. After all, many health care organizations have been credentialing practitioners in one form or another for years and are experts at it. However, credentialing for payor enrollment purposes has a few unique aspects that must be considered.
This webinar will address these aspects and provide a background on delegated credentialing, including the basics of implementing and improving a payor enrollment program.

Question of the Week
We have some pretty significant concerns about one of our new Medical Staff members. We met with her and shared our concerns; she promised to do better, but didn’t. This went on for several months and even after we tried a performance improvement plan, there was no sustained improvement. Although we don’t often find ourselves in this position, we referred the matter to the MEC to consider whether to start an investigation. The very next day, before the MEC had taken definitive action, the physician resigned her appointment and clinical privileges.
Now we’re not sure what to do. Should we go forward with an investigation and confirm or negate our concerns? Is her resignation reportable to the National Practitioner Data Bank as a resignation in return for not conducting an investigation? How about a report to the State Medical Board? We are worried about her clinical competence and afraid that if we don’t do something, she’ll hurt a patient at the next hospital where she lands.
