credential verification organization (CVO)

A Credential Verification Organization (CVO) is a trusted entity that verifies the education, training, licenses, and certifications of healthcare professionals. Its role is to confirm that a healthcare worker's credentials are legitimate and up-to-date, ensuring they meet industry standards and legal requirements. This process helps healthcare facilities and licensing boards confirm that new hires or existing staff have the necessary qualifications. Essentially, a CVO acts as an impartial verifier, reducing errors and safeguarding patient safety by ensuring professionals are properly credentialed.
