CREDENTIALING AT YOUR FIRST JOB: TIPS
.
.
Physicians must go through a credentialing and verification for hospitals and clinics where your group intends to practice — a process that can take up to 3 months.
.
*HIGH YIELD: I recommend that everyone have the following documents readily accessible, and easily transmissible upon request.*
.
1. Cover Letter – may also require a character development essay, or statements regarding your teaching and research objectives
.
2. CV – update monthly!
.
3. Identification (Driver’s license/Passport/SS card) – update as per legal requirements.
.
4. National Provider Identification (NPI)
.
5. Medical Licenses (Active and Expired)
.
6. Peer references – include current colleagues, previous program director, etc.
.
7. Medical school and residency/fellowship training diplomas
.
8. Tuberculosis (TB) testing – 2-step TB vs Quantiferon Gold – update annually
.
9. Immunizations: Hepatitis B (HepB), measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), in specific. Update if needed.
.
10. Annual Flu vaccine (or waiver) – update annually.
.
11. Adult and Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS, PALS) – renew/update every 2 years.
.
12. Specialty and subspecialty board certification (or eligibility) status.
.
13. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) license – dependent on specialty. Update every 3 years.
.
14. Privileges request form – a part of the hospital or other institution-specific application process.
.
.
*For subsequent applications, one should also consider:*
.
15. Maintenance of certification (MOC) – highly dependent on specialty, typically every 10 years.
.
16. Case logs – I recommend saving ACGME case logs and maintaining a personal database of your diagnoses and procedures.
.
17. Continuing Medical Education (CME) documentation – dependent on specialty and state licensing board.
.
18. Malpractice history – infomation regarding certificate number, practice locations, filed and in-process claim frequency and severity, tail occurrence versus claims-made policy.
.
*This is not necessarily an exhaustive list. My friends, What other documents have been requested of you during your job application process? *⬇️⬇️⬇️
Save a tree (or two or three). Think about how much less you'll have to spend on paper when signing people in and out of your community. Accushield uses technology so that you can keep track of guests, residents, and third-party healthcare providers in your community. .

Meet Accushield account manager Kevin Stender! On weekends, find Kevin outside, hiking, or biking on a trail. He proudly admits to love Outback cheezy fries, or anything with melted cheese on top. He may or may not love the movie Moulin Rouge. And if he could have any super power, he would definitely choose flight. Thank you Kevin, for being a crucial member of the Accushield team.

Good morning and happy Saturday! We are going to be dedicating Saturday's to celebrate people who have helped influence our lives. We will be starting with Charles Mann III who is one of our founder's father's.
Charles Mann is a noted visionary, entrepreneur, businessman, and pioneer in the senior’s housing market. Since 1988, he has conceptualized, developed, owned and operated some of the nation’s highest quality, progressive healthcare companies. It came to Charles Junior's attention that there needed to be more regulation when signing people in and out of the senior living community. Hence, Accushield was born.
Thanks to a brilliant team of board members, account managers, innovators, and engineers, we've been able to successfully create a visitor management system specifically for senior living.
Thank you Charles III for being an inspiration for us all.
