Changes in the healthcare delivery landscape and scope-of-practice laws are driving demand for allied health professionals (AHP). However, creating criteria-based privilege forms for AHPs can be a lengthy process, requiring weeks of searching for applicable competency benchmarks. The issue is even more complicated with AHPs because state and facility regulations regarding level of independence vary.

Create a comprehensive and efficient privileging process that saves valuable time while ensuring the delivery of high-quality care.
