This week, we will explore credentialing and the ongoing process to keep it up to date. As an employee in healthcare administration, it is likely that you will be responsible for credentialing records and their upkeep. In a 7th edition APA formatted paper, in Times New Roman 12 font, discuss the many credentials and aspects of credentialing. This assignment will include a cover page, a minimum 5-page body, and a reference page with a minimum of 3 references.

In this submission, reflect on what aspects need to be considered when credentialing a physician for a medical facility. Credentialing is more than the education and background check. HInt: Many times payment is made by insurance! Discuss all the credentials that must be maintained for the physician and why. Reflect on the challenges that could be faced for the facility, the employees, and the clients if this process is not completed in a timely fashion.
