Verifying
Physicians’ Credentials
Medversant
Technologies has released a powerful (on line) credentials verification
tool for the health care industry. WebCVO 3.0 lets a practitioner
create a single, centralized credentials verification application
that may be accessed by multiple users, including health plans,
hospitals and medical groups, for verification of credentials
information. This centralized credentialing application allows
a practitioner to be credentialed only once for all the participating
health care organizations, rather than multiple times, as would
occur if each organization performed its own credentialing. In
this way, WebCVO eliminates wasteful, duplicative credentialing
and spreads credentialing costs across all the participating health
care organizations.
According to CEO Matt Haddad, “Medversant’s credentials verification
system will revolutionize the credentialing process in hospitals,
health plans and other organizations and it will cut costs. If
most large health care systems adopted WebCVO the US health care
industry would save over $1 billion in administrative costs each
year. WebCVO will also reduce exposure to medical errors from
unqualified practitioners.” Built for the Web on a flexible database
platform, Medversant has plans to introduce its software to other
industries required to credential professionals such as engineering,
finance, legal and accounting, and education.
