Rural Health, Critical Access Hospitals Find Relief with Medical Credentialing Software

Healthcare facilities across the country are grappling with staffing shortages and financial strain, none more so than rural health clinics, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).

These resources have an important role in providing patient care where it is needed the most.

The COVID-19 Pandemic undoubtedly transformed the healthcare industry in more ways than imaginable, for better and for worse. Some healthcare hurdles remain unchanged, even those which existed long before the pandemic. For instance, the administrative complexity of the healthcare industry increases costs for medical facilities, healthcare professionals, and the patients they care for.

Ready Doc, developed by Intiva Health, is a free medical credentialing software offering a suite of healthcare administration tools on a single platform. Users can access provider credentials, manage privileges, maintain compliance, and start the payer enrollment process.

Credentialing and payer enrollment are two, time-intensive procedures if not executed effectively. Medical credentialing of healthcare providers is required by law primarily for the safety of patients and consequently upholds the integrity of the facility. Payer enrollment is required for providers and facilities to be reimbursed by healthcare networks.

For facilities with a limited budget, such as those in a rural area or ones funded by the government (FQHC), time and money play a significant role in delivering proper patient care. The impact of healthcare waste on Critical Access Hospitals, those in rural areas, or a FQHC has far graver consequences than it already does for a privately held facility—making the Ready Doc platform an invaluable asset.

In addition to reducing healthcare waste and alleviating administrative burden, the platform has a large catalog of free, accredited Continuing Medical Education courses for physicians and Continuing Education Units for nurses.

Healthcare professionals serving the underserved deserve every help they can get for the invaluable commitment to communities which would otherwise be left behind. Ready Doc by Intiva Health is continuously adding features which benefit healthcare facilities, their providers, and ultimately their patients in the company’s quest to improve the health of healthcare.
