Webinar: Provider Credentialing, Privileging and Enrollment: Strategic Implications of the Unknown Unknowns

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld famously mused, “There are known unknowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know, we don’t know.”

Strategic planning builds on the strengths of an organization and tries to repair the weaknesses that makes it vulnerable in its marketplace. Strategic planners try to avoid the unknown unknowns. This presentation will demonstrate that improper management of the credentialing, privileging and enrollment process has been proven to be a costly oversight for many organizations. Fragmented and inefficient credentialing, privileging and enrollment processes create compliance risks, barriers to care and claim denials. This process should be reviewed annually and included in every healthcare organization’s annual business planning process and enterprise risk assessment.
