Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Medical Staff Governance
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • Economic credentialing is a growing concern in healthcare.
  • Physician access to hospital privileges is a critical issue.
  • Defining economic credentialing is essential for understanding its implications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define economic credentialing.
  • To explore the criteria used in economic credentialing.
  • To differentiate economic credentialing from quality-based credentialing.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of definitions from prominent medical associations.
  • Review of legal and ethical considerations.
  • Examination of the impact on physician access.

Main Results:

  • Economic credentialing uses financial criteria unrelated to quality of care.
  • It affects initial and continuing medical staff membership and privileges.
  • Physician exclusion can be based on resource utilization and fiscal responsibility.

Conclusions:

  • Economic credentialing raises significant questions about physician rights and patient access.
  • Clear definitions are needed to ensure fair practices.
  • The balance between economic considerations and quality of care requires careful consideration.
