Cheryl Schilke, RN, CPMSM, director of Synernet CVO in Portland, ME, writes contracts that explain the credentialing application her organization uses and which party (CVO, medical staff, or practitioner) is responsible for providing information for the individual sections.
Schilke also tells potential clients that one of their responsibilities is to alert her to any changes in an applicant’s status. This is beneficial because if an applicant contacts the medical staff to withdraw his or her application, the medical staff can alert the CVO to stop the credentialing process thus saving time.
This week’s tip is from Business basics: Find the perfect fit for your medical staff and CVO relationship through pinpointed questions in Briefings on Credentialing, December 2009. Archived online at www.CredentialingResourceCenter.com.
