Streamlining the physician credentialing process

It is not anticipated that the demand for physician credentialing information will lessen. Organizations will have to become more cost-efficient in the way that the credentialing process is managed. The use of a uniform application and the emergence of CVOs can help streamline the process. Additional methods for implementing cost reductions and avoiding duplication of efforts in the area of physician credentialing will result as competition increases in the managed care arena.
