Can a physician or other practitioner work before completing the credentialing process?
• No. It is Fairview’s legal obligation to ensure that all practitioners have gone through the credentialing process and have been approved by the Board of Directors to work at a Fairview entity. • A practitioner working at a Fairview entity before the credentialing process is complete places Fairview and the practitioner at legal risk and can directly impact Fairview’s accreditation status.
