Webplay Price : $ 125 for two weeks viewing

Webinar Overview:

Although time consuming, credentialing audits play an important role in oversight of the credentialing process. Even the most experienced professionals make mistakes and overlook things – it is part of human nature. In some cases, an element, such as primary source verification of licensure, is completed but the documentation does not get placed in the credentials file. Or perhaps an issue requiring follow-up is identified, but is forgotten when a more urgent issue presents itself. A slip like this can make for a finding of non-compliance on an accreditation survey.

Webinar Objectives:

• Develop customized tools for conducting audits of the credentialing function and process using supplied templates
• Evaluate the credentialing process to determine where delays occur and develop strategies to overcome these delays
