Credentialing quintessentially determines the industrial/practice credentials of an individual. It seeks to assess his professional competence through the recognition and attestation of his current medical, professional or technical know-how and performance. This process assesses and monitors a practitioner’s decision-making with regards to clinical or medical reviews and adheres religiously to the applicable professional standards for direct medical care and/or peer review. Patient mix or referrals to outpatient clinics or specialists must never determine a Credentialing process.
The entire Credentialing process verifies physicians/clinicians in terms of their:
License
Experience
Certification
Education
Training
Malpractice and Adverse Clinical Occurrence
Clinical Judgment
Technical Capability
Character in Professional Practice
Key components that go into Credentialing include: peer review and analysis of utilization criteria (determined through standard legal and administrative practices), evaluation of care quality, provided to patients as a whole and examination of practitioner competency records. While performing Credentialing, it is mandatory to strive and maintain consistency and protocol; otherwise the entire process is prone to be elusive.
