Happy New Year from HCPro!
Credentialing & Verification Update, December 30, 2008
Today, New Year's Eve, we remember the year that has past and preapre for new beginnings.
Credentialers faced onging challenges in 2008 including changing regulations and new legal precedents. As you can imagine, those challenges will continue in 2009, which is why we at HCPro are hard at work to help you face them.
We’re giving our primary Web site, HCPro.com, a complete facelift. We're making the site as attractive and functional as our articles are useful. (The new site will go live in January).
In addition, we continue to improve our suite of products designed to make your job as a medical staff professional easier. For example, we are expanding the number of hospitals, licensing agencies, and medical schools in our primary source verification directory, the Credentialing and Privileging Desktop Reference, and making it easier to search. And, we are redesigning the Credentialing Resource Center (CRC) and expanding its features.
I’m excited about the projects we have underway here at HCPro and about the untold opportunities 2009 holds for us all. I hope you are too.
Best wishes to you and everybody you know for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
