The purpose of credentialing is to systematically verify a professional’s education, training, licenses, and background to ensure they meet established standards of competence and safety.
- Verifies qualifications: Confirms that a practitioner graduated from an accredited school and holds valid, active licenses.
- Screens for risk: Checks for malpractice history, disciplinary actions, or revoked licenses to filter out unqualified or dangerous individuals.
- Ensures uniform standards: Holds all participating practitioners to the exact same high level of professional accountability
