Most hospitals' vendor credentialing programs were built to protect clinical spaces, especially the operating room. But the operating room isn't where most third-party personnel actually go.
This report examines where that disconnect comes from, why a once-and-done check no longer matches how vendors actually operate and what a vendor credentialing model matched to real exposure looks like - including how one pediatric health system expanded oversight without replicating clinical requirements or slowing urgent work.
"Hospitals have build credentialing programs around the most visible risk, not the most common one."
