Negligent Credentialing: Making Sure Your Organization is Not at Risk

September 16, 2020

Course description

This session will focus on proper provider credentialing which is important in order to ensure quality patient care, but it is also necessary to protect your organization from negligent credentialing litigation. Failure to follow a consistent credentialing process, or failure to complete the process in its entirety, may lead to a negligent credentialing cause of action. In the event of litigation, the veracity of provider credentialing is heavily scrutinized, which can, in turn, lead to greater exposure and liability on the part of your organization.  

This fast-paced, informative webinar will provide background information on the rise in negligent credentialing litigation and will give you and your organization the tools needed to identify weaknesses in your credentialing program and avoid costly negligent credentialing practices.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the history of credentialing in the legal system
  • Identify the rise of negligent credentialing lawsuits
  • Recognize why we credential healthcare professionals
  • Examine how to assess your credentialing program
  • Identify how to avoid various errors
  • Summarize possible strategies to implement when faced with litigation
  • Illustrate a plan to leverage technology to ensure proper credentialing practices
