Credentialing is a formal process that comprises a set of guidelines to scrutinize healthcare providers’ professional eligibility. This process ensures that patients receive the highest medical care from the best. It’s a stringent process where regulatory authorities verify providers’ credentials, their work histories, and other background information. This ensures that only qualified healthcare professionals are allowed to practice medicine and improves patient care. 

Traditional approach to credentialing can be challenging due to its extensive paperwork, multiple layers of review, and manual follow-ups. This can lead to errors, and reduce operational efficiency and compliance issues. Automating the credentialing approval process can be beneficial and offer several benefits. Automated systems like Cflow handle the creation and routing of credentialing approval requests, verification of credentials and professional histories, and coordination with relevant departments or regulatory bodies quite effectively.
