Credentialing as a Path to Physician Engagement
Amidst growing physician shortages and financial pressure facing healthcare organizations today, the need to quickly attract, hire, onboard, deploy and retain physicians has never been greater. Unfortunately, an inefficient credentialing process can derail recruitment and retention efforts, draining physician enthusiasm and worsening these challenges.
When multiple healthcare organizations are vying for the same top talent, a fast and easy credentialing process can be a valuable differentiator – turning a traditional pain point into a satisfier, with additional positive impacts on patient access and the bottom line. By implementing a repeatable, predictable and scalable credentialing process, healthcare organizations can remove manual and redundant effort, enhance the physician experience and complete credentialing faster. As a result, providers can start seeing patients sooner and focus on delivering the best possible patient care.
