Get started
You hear a lot about credentialing in healthcare but what does it mean for you as a working healthcare professional?
Credentialing is essentially the process of verifying that a provider is qualified to provide medical services. This will affect you when getting hired for a new job as a permanent employee or at the beginning of each assignment as a traveler. Knowing the basic idea of credentialing in healthcare is easy, but digging in and understanding exactly what the requirements are takes a bit more time.
1. Identification
2. Licenses
3. Certifications
4. Medical Records
5. Background Checks
6. Drug Screens
7. Education
8. References
9. Competency Testing
10. Skills Checklist
Credentialing in healthcare doesn’t have to be complicated if you are equipped with the right info and the right way to organize your documents. Having these items readily available through a universal job profile from Kamana will enable you, the healthcare provider, to get a job easier and faster. New job postings can come and go quickly, so having everything you need ready at the click of the button instead of hunting it down in a file will aid you in being one step ahead of the competition!
