Question
This week we examined accreditation of facilities to help improve the quality of care. As part of this process, it is important that the healthcare providers in these facilities have the proper
requirements to treat patients. For this assignment, review the Law of Practicing
Healthcare Professions in the required reading section. You are tasked with drafting a paper to
explain the processes and procedures required to ensure that a provider has the requisite training
and education to treat patients. Be sure to include:
• Education and training requirements for
licensure.
• Any testing or procedures to obtain
licensure.
• How your facility should verify the
healthcare providers' qualifications.
• Any additional training a provider should
receive and how the facility will ensure the
provider is maintaining this.
• How credentialing relates to the
accreditation process; and
• The impact of credentialing and
accreditation on patient safety and facility
well-being.
