empanelment

Empanelment is the process of officially enrolling and creating a recognized list of service providers, professionals, or organizations authorized to deliver specific services within a system. For example, in healthcare, doctors or clinics are empaneled with a hospital or insurance scheme, meaning they are approved and authorized to treat patients under that program. This ensures that providers meet certain standards and have agreed to follow specified procedures. Empanelment facilitates better coordination, accountability, and quality assurance, making it easier for clients to access reliable services from qualified providers within a structured framework.
