Medical Staff leaders, practitioners and providers rely on MSPs to ensure qualitative regulatory compliance, performance improvement, accreditation, credentialing and governance for physicians, practitioners, and other healthcare providers.

Each point highlights solutions for MSPs to test and apply with real-life stories interspersed to illustrate points. This book contains a helpful glossary, sample job descriptions, and terms specific to the MSP.
