When it comes to the medical field, "credentialing" <u>is used as a process in order to ensure the credibility of a licensed medical professional.</u> The validation or inspection is carried out by<em> credentialed inspectors.</em> These inspectors make sure to do a background check of the physician's license and legitimacy.
This allows the hospitals to make sure that the physicians who are working under them are <em>qualified</em> and thus will offer quality care to the patients. The physician, on the other hand, has the responsibility to provide<em> up-to-date documents</em> in order to hasten the process.
