Economic credentialing policies are not off-the-shelf products. Hospitals and their medical staffs should carefully develop and adopt them. A governing board interested in developing an economic credentialing policy should follow the following steps:
1. Define the issues and the goals
2. Form a multidisciplinary committee
3. Engage legal counsel
4. Create the policy
5. Build consensus
6. Adopt and implement
These steps are explored in detail in the book Economic Credentialing: How to Balance Competition, Compliance, and Collegiality to Resolve Conflicts of Interest, by Robin Locke Nagele, Esq., Mark Mattioli, Esq., Todd Sagin, MD, JD, and Hugh Greeley.
