Credentialing Organizations

Credentialing organizations are independent entities that evaluate and verify the qualifications, skills, and credentials of healthcare professionals and organizations. They establish standards to ensure providers meet certain quality and competence benchmarks, which helps maintain trust and safety in healthcare. These organizations typically conduct reviews of education, training, experience, and certifications, granting accreditation or certification that indicates a provider’s adherence to industry standards. Their role is essential in assuring patients and healthcare entities that providers are properly qualified and competent to deliver safe, effective care.
