Sample policy for credentials files (content, access, control, and retention)

Many MSPs have questions regarding what information to keep and how long to store it. This policy outlines the requirements of documents that must be present in each medical staff credentialing and privileging file, as well as a control process for logging when those files are checked in and out. It is important to review this policy with legal counsel in today’s litigious environment in which negligent credentialing lawsuits are dramatically on the rise.
