Abstract: This collection of information is used to evaluate individual health care providers applying for medical staff credentials at IHS health care facilities. Provider credentialing in the IHS has been identified as a priority area for quality improvement to support patient safety and demonstrate quality of care. IHS health care facilities require all medical staff applicants to provide information concerning their education, training, licensure, and work experience and any adverse disciplinary actions taken against them. The IHS is transforming credentialing into a centrally installed, automated, standardized, electronic/digital, measurable, portable, accessible, and efficient business process to improve the effectiveness of application and re-application to Medical Staffs, movement of practitioners within the IHS system, and recruitment/retention of high-quality practitioners.
