    Consider This! Is Medical Services a Career or Just a Job?

    I’ll be honest. When I first started in the medical services profession, it was a job. I must admit it was a fascinating job. However, my sights were set elsewhere. But, it was my innate work ethic that made me tackle it with zest. I found myself learning so much more than I had expected, as well as interacting with true professionals in the medical and administrative fields that intrigued me. I couldn’t stop learning enough. So now, almost 30 years later, I look at what I do

    Update on Louisiana House Bill 748

    Here's a recent email I received from ICE. Thought it might interest you! About a month ago, the Louisiana House of Delegates passed House Bill 748, which banned the use of the term “certification” issued from professional credentialing bodies unless such certification is used in conjunction with licensure. ICE is now pleased to inform you that Louisiana House Bill 748 has been amended to address the concerns of the credentialing community! The concerning language regarding t

    The Four Phases of the Credentialing World

    What is credentialing? In the healthcare industry, hospitals, managed care organizations, medical schools, and large group practices are just a few entity types that perform credentialing to determine if the healthcare providers affiliated with them are competent, qualified, and legally registered to practice. Credentialing sounds complicated, but it isn’t. Yes, there are a lot of steps entailed. Some of those steps have been mandated by state and federal guidelines as well a

    Six Ways to Maximize Your Credentialing Program

    Over the past twenty years, I have witnessed and encountered some of the best, some of the worst, and some of the strangest credentialing programs. That’s why I enjoy helping organizations pull together a successful, streamline program that should almost run itself with the right tools and the right staff. But, first things first. To thrive the organization will need to develop a sound structure and foundation for credentialing. Here are six recommendations to make sure that

    One Size Doesn’t Fit All Credentialing Programs

    Yes, some standards should be met. There are credentialing requirements dependent on your corner of the healthcare industry that must be fulfilled. Hospitals and managed care organizations have a different set of accreditation criteria. Each state may have another set of standards or an unusual twist on the general norms required. What you may consider being an elementary set of rules for all healthcare organizations may need a second look to ensure your compliance. You not o

    Consistency in Credentialing

    The credentialing profession is about consistency. Regulatory and accrediting agencies mandate a set of criteria. All we have to do is follow that criterion to the letter. Sounds simple, right? To the individual unfamiliar with that simplified criteria, yes. The first impression would be to follow the directions to create a successful program. However, those of us in the profession know that the process is anything but simple. Collecting and verifying data may be the easy par

    A Sound Credentialing Program is Like a Well-Designed Building

    ARCHITECTS first get a view of the land. Before they envision a building, they envision what would fit into that landscape. The architect then considers what occupies the surrounding space. It is then they start pulling it all together with drawings and photos and notes. That is typically how a credentialing or provider enrollment program should be designed. To build a successful credentialing or provider enrollment program, you need to know the lay of the land. You need to k

    NAMSS Releases Report - The State of the Medical Services Professional

    The State of the Medical Services Professional was a study conducted by National Association of Medical Staff Services (NAMSS). It's a well-written perspective on how far the Medical Services Professional (MSP) has evolved over the years and where it's headed. When I first entered the credentialing field in the very early 90's, it was by happenstance. I was working for the Vice President of Medical Affairs (VPMA) of a newly formed healthcare system, two neighboring hospitals.
