Nashua, NH (Vocus) January 6, 2010
ISG Group, LLC dba IntelliSoft Group, a leader in medical credentialing software solutions, has announced their new integrated functionality with the Universal Provider Datasource (UPD), a CAQH initiative. IntelliSoft Group’s IntelliCred Phoenix system can now import directly from the UPD database, allowing those who work in medical staff services to automatically gather and input provider data. The IntelliCred Phoenix system will now automate the lengthy manual process of data entry creating significant time savings and efficiencies.
Medical credentialing is the process of an objective evaluation of a physician’s current licensure, training, experience, competence, and qualifications to provide services and perform specific procedures. A strict criterion for credentialing is required by all healthcare systems’ accreditation bodies, such as the Joint Commission, URAC and NCQA.
“Medical staff services professionals will now be able to import the data they require, create provider records, as well as update existing practitioner data by clicking a button,” stated Mike Aha, director of product development and technical support. “IntelliSoft Group is providing this functionality in its IntelliCred Phoenix product. This is a significant feature within the software, saving hours of time from performing this task manually, increasing productivity and efficiency within medical credentialing."
“An electronic import, such as IntelliCred Phoenix’s import functionality, permits users to preserve the integrity of provider data, while avoiding the expense and errors associated with manual data entry,” stated Sorin Davis, director of marketing and business development for CAQH.
