AdvaMed and 10 other healthcare organizations are working together to create national standards for clinical healthcare industry representative (HCIR) credentialing, according AdvaMed.
Clinical HCIRs include industry professionals who provide technical support related to procedures ranging from knee replacements to programming cardiac pacemakers.
Currently, individual hospitals and healthcare facilities determine their own credentialing requirements. The new proposal would end the duplicative and sometimes conflicting regulations set up by each healthcare facility, according to AdvaMed.
