There are 153 hospitals within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health system. Each hospital faces challenges and relies on the wide array of resources from the VA system to meet its needs. For MSPs within the system, those resources include the VetPro credentialing software, structured credentials files, and, above all, a reliable network of peers. If you’re familiar with the VA credentialing and privileging system, chances are you’re also familiar with its reputation. “I think there are many people who will say we are an entity that is equal to the best out there and that we, in many respects, serve as a benchmark for a lot of organizations,” says Kathryn Enchelmayer, CPMSM, CPCS, director of credentialing and privileging at the Veterans Health Administration in Washington, DC.
