Provider Credentialing

It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of FRTH to ensure that the providers employed by the agency are licensed and eligible to practice.

Credentials review is a process involving verification of the identity, training, experience, and competence of an individual. Through assessment and validation of a provider’s qualifications to provide patient care services, the appropriate department head provides recommendations to the governing body regarding appointment and the scope of clinical privileges to be granted to the individual.

Determinations of appointment are based on evaluation of the individual’s current license, training, experience, current competence, and ability to perform privileges requested. Credentials review processes for staff membership or privileges are detailed and specific and outlined in FRTH’s bylaws, rules and regulations, and/or policies.
