New Online Process for Credentialing
In early April, providers who are due to be reappointed in September will receive an email with a link to their online credentialing application.
BWH Provider Services began piloting the new online process earlier this year with staff applying for their first appointment at BWH.
Previously, physicians filled out paper applications, and staff from Provider Services typed the information into a database. The new application streamlines the process and reduces the risk of error in entering information incorrectly into the database.
The online application is the first step toward the joint credentialing process between BWH and Faulkner Hospital. The goal is for doctors who are jointly credentialed to be able to fill out just one application for both locations. This will help reduce duplicative paperwork. More information will be available in the coming months.
In general, reappointments occur every two years in the birth month of providers. Watch for an email from BWH Provider Services with a link to your application.
