provider satisfaction. Only 11 % of the MSPs reported integration with physician scheduling solutions.
Unified, enterprise-wide provider databases can revolutionize data management, reduce errors, improve compliance, and enhance decision-making. This should be a priority for organizations looking to modernize credentialing practices.
Prioritize Tracking Onboarding Timelines
There is a strong need for organizations to track onboarding timelines and assess the financial impact of onboarding delays. Currently, only 38 % of organizations are tracking onboarding timelines, down from 45 % in 2024. Further, 82 % of respondents said their organization either does not calculate – or they do not know if it calculates – the revenue impact of faster onboarding.
Credentialing leaders can improve provider satisfaction and reduce revenue loss by investing in onboarding efficiency, performance tracking, and data-driven insights.
Allocate Resources for Medical Staff Services
Staffing limitations were identified as the primary obstacle to implementing key credentialing initiatives, alongside the challenge of overcoming
data silos and manual administrative tasks. To mitigate this, medical staff services departments can demonstrate how critical their roles are in helping the organization mitigate risk and contribute to revenue. Doing so can help reinforce the need for additional resources.
There is also a significant opportunity to increase the exposure of medical staff services as a profession. Raising awareness and establishing defined career paths can help attract new talent and support the growth of younger MSPs looking to advance in the field.
Moving Forward
There is a shift toward innovation that will continue in credentialing processes to keep pace with the evolving healthcare landscape. By investing in advanced tools, fostering interdepartmental collaboration, and empowering medical staff professionals, organizations can enhance their credentialing frameworks to meet growing demands effectively.
For those navigating these changes, prioritizing automation, streamlined data management, and provider-centric solutions will be key to success in the future of credentialing.
