New CheckMedic Online Credentialing Tool from Verisys® Puts Healthcare Providers in Charge of Their Data
Alexandria, VA (October 25, 2011) — Verisys Corporation, a primary source aggregator of healthcare provider data, has just launched is CheckMedic™, the first online credentialing solution that puts healthcare providers – not organizations – in charge of their data.
Accessible from any computer, tablet or smartphone at www.checkmedic.com, the new system is being introduced this week to physicians and organizations at Verisys Booth # 659 during the Medical Group Practice Association (MGMA) annual conference in Las Vegas, October 23-26.
“Over the past 30 years, healthcare credentialing, recruitment, onboarding and compliance have become enormously inefficient, rife with duplication and expensive,” said Verisys Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder John Benson. “CheckMedic is the solution that can help overcome these challenges.”
According to Benson, CheckMedic empowers healthcare providers – from physicians and nurses to therapists and technicians – to create a secure, online MedPass™ containing their credentials and information. They can then make updates as needed and share their information with the healthcare organizations they choose.
For healthcare organizations, CheckMedic ensures that the credentials, background data and self-reported information of their providers have been checked and verified. It continuously monitors dynamic credentialing data in real-time, alerts organizations of provider status changes and handles all aspects of peer referencing, giving organizations objective assessments that can result in smarter hiring decisions and faster onboarding and privileging.
CheckMedic exceeds primary source verification standards set by The Joint Commission, DNV and HFAP. It is among the Verisys Credentials Verification Solutions that have been exclusively endorsed by the American Hospital Association. To get started, healthcare providers and organizations can register for their account at www.checkmedic.com.
Now in development is CheckMedic’s Provider Finder, an online portal to more than 30 million healthcare providers, professionals and businesses nationwide. Its search interface will help consumers find the providers best for their family’s healthcare needs.
CheckMedic is powered by Verisys, one of the leading credentialing verification organizations (CVO) nationwide. Verisys is CVO accredited by URAC and CVO certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
