About this event
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.
