Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Part LXXII: Credentialing and Privileging
1From Advanced Radiology Services and the Division of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, College of Human Services, Michigan State University, Grand Rapids, MI.
Abstract:
Healthcare credentialing is the methodology used by an organization to obtain and validate a practitioner's credentials, typically to participate in patient care. Privileging is the process by which the designated individuals in the healthcare organization evaluate the credentials, as well as the performance of the individual to determine that the provider is worthy to have certain privileges in the institution to contribute to the care of patients. The healthcare institution must have appropriate processes to ensure that providers continue to give excellent care in order to maintain privileges. There must also be procedures in place for remediation and revocation of privileges when necessary, as well as an appeals procedure. In addition, there should be provisions for privileging of temporary workers and for privileging in emergency situations.
