Licensing, Credentialing, Certification, and Privileging

 

 

 

According to Shi & Singh (2017), “some features of the U.S. health care delivery have remained stable, but the future will be determined by how certain forces of change interact… serious challenges lie ahead unless the nation can control rising consumption of health care resources, the costs associated with them, and mend an economy that has not meaningfully improved in several years” (pg. 358).

Based on your learnings in this course, discuss 2 or 3 improvement recommendations (eliminating political preference) for the current U.S. health care delivery system. Support your recommendations with scholarly references.

 

 

Licensure, registration, certification, and accreditation

 

 

 

The Medical Staff Coordinator is holding a seminar on licensure, registration, certification, and accreditation and has asked you to prepare a 3-5 page or create a PowerPoint presentation of 8-10 slides, not including title slide or reference slide, on the topic. The paper or presentation should include the meaning of each term. It should also discuss how physicians are licensed and regulated and the purpose of a medical board. It should highlight at least one practitioner type and their requirements. Lastly, it should include information about accrediting bodies.
