Pathways Webinar Training for Hospital and Medical Staff Leaders Is Back for 2025!
This year’s program will focus on quality enhancement through excellence in credentialing and privileging.  The aim is to promote quality and patient safety on the front end – through careful upfront assessment and management of areas of concern and prevention/avoidance when those concerns cannot be resolved.  We will cover the fundamentals of the credentialing continuum during the course of the year.
