Forged doctors managed to take leading positions in reputable health care organizations in the Middle East.
Implementing a credential system can eliminate or decrease the possibility of such fault.
Also Credential system could track privileges and criminal records.

2. With the advance in
technology, accreditation and social media
clients are becoming more knowledgeable
about their bill of rights in a given health care
center.
Medical errors are spreading through social
media like fire in dry grass
Accreditation standards states that patient’s
bill of rights must be known to all patients
3. Forged doctors incidents are increasing
especially in the Middle East
The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties
(SCHS) discovered 2,714 forged certificates for
health care practitioners in the last 10
years, according to the SCHS.
How did they manage to get into health care
centers?They were not screened carefully by
hiring personnel I guess, or they were very good
in faking their degrees and education
history, more likely.
4. High Risk non sense care provided by a non
medical person
Increased risk of errors
Increased risk of sue case
Massive damage to the hiring organization
Massive damage to the patient
Increased cost on organization and patient
Never ending list…..
5. Some hiring personnel are perfect while others
are not.
Why take the risk?
Install a Credentialing system
It does two main functions
1. Screens the educational and experience
background for all docs (Doctors)
2. It maintains the privileging within the
contract of the doc in a given organization
6. Medical Staff have a list of allowed medical
interventions
JCIAO standards states that physicians are
allowed certain privileges after they earn it
through education and practice
Maintaining the list of privileges is a must
Nursing staff must verify that upon calling a
physician to perform a procedure he has the
privilege to perform it
7. The Credentialing system can track who is
allowed to do what
Supports proctoring, certain procedures can
be privileged after being proctored by a
qualified physician
Certain privileges needs renewal, tracking
such privileges is another challenge
8. Another bonus, criminal record check
Credentialing system could track if a subject
doctor has a criminal record where record is
available on-line such as in U.S.A.
Often times a skilled Physician with valid
credentials comes to practice in another
country, but he has criminal record.The risk is
high again.
10. There are many systems out there, but selection can be challenging.
