Medscape: Doctors Gain Accrediting Option as NBPAS Gets Credentialing Authority
“When it comes to maintaining board certification, physicians will have a new avenue.
The National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS), created in 2015 to give physicians an alternative to traditional recertification efforts, recently announced that The Joint Commission has acknowledged the organization as a credentialing body. Deemed a “Designated Equivalent Source Agency” by the national accrediting body, NBPAS can now be used by hospitals and health systems for physician credentialing and privileging requirements.”
