credentialing is … getting your hands dirty and verifying with the “ primary source” the following: (1) Medical School , (2) Internship , (3) Residency , (4) Fellowship , (5) Board Certification , (6) Fluoroscopy , (7) Medical Licensure , (8) ECFMG , (9) DEA , (10) Insurance [malpractice claims history], (11) current and previous hospital affiliations and work sites , (12) peer references , (13) NPDB , (14) OIG , (15) GSA , (16) Megan’s Law , (17) CME , (18) PPD / health status ; and (19) current clinical competency (activity logs from current and previous hospitals)

credentialing is … reading between the lines Verifying everything claimed with everything verified

credentialing … saves lives
