Most common deficiencies for AAAHC Chapter 2 “Governance”, Subchapter II “Credentialing and Privileging”
The most common deficiencies our surveyors see for Chapter 2-II “Governance: Credentialing and Privileging” of the AAAHC Accreditation Handbook for Ambulatory Health Care:
Provider education must be verified – copies of diplomas are not verification. Most organizations use the AMA Physician Profile. For non-physician providers, we suggest the National Student Clearinghouse for education verification.
For each provider, you must have a report from the NPDB – National Practitioner Data Bank – for credentialing and re-credentialing.
Governing Board minutes must state the names of the providers approved for privileges.
