LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
New Image Credentialing Services, Inc. (www.newimagecredentialing.com), the only credentials verification organization (CVO) in Puerto Rico, has contracted with Medversant Technologies, LLC (www.medversant.com), the nation's leading provider of Web-based healthcare practitioner management applications, to provide continuous credentials verification services for its practitioners, hospitals and healthcare centers.
'New Image chose Medversant's OneSource' technology to facilitate verification services and ensure the integrity of the credentialing process for its clients,' says Luis A Rivera, CEO of New Image, which provides verification services to clients in Puerto Rico and beyond. 'The goal of New Image is to ease the burden on companies that have been performing their own verification, a very time consuming chore. We sought a resource that would allow us to monitor our extensive data systems more efficiently and ensure that our clients receive the most up-to-date, accurate information available.'
New Image oversees credentials verification for more than 3,000 health practitioners, including physicians, nurses, therapists, as well as five hospitals and medical facilities. With OneSource, the CVO gains immediate access to the most current background information on all the doctors and staff of its medical facilities.
According to Matthew Haddad, CEO of Medversant, 'As a company that provides outsourced services, New Image can now obtain real-time verification information and significantly enhance the quality of care and safety of patients in the hospitals and medical facilities they service.'
Medversant's OneSource' is a revolutionary technology for continuous monitoring and automated, real-time physician credentials verification. Certified by the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA), Medversant provides OneSource for customers seeking the immediate benefits of an outsourcing solution coupled with a sophisticated technology solution.
Introduced in 2007, OneSource provides services through a shared access platform that allows clients to work on the same system as Medversant to check status, generate reports, schedule practitioners and other features.
'OneSource creates a virtual medical staff office in one convenient electronic location,' says Haddad. 'We are gratified that New Image has chosen Medversant's innovative, high tech services to improve its monitoring systems and enhance patient safety for their clients.'
New Image is the first CVO and the first organization outside of the continental United States to contract with Medversant for its OneSource solution. Others facilities that have already implemented OneSource include the Texas based Cirrus Health, a premier health services group, and Century City Doctors Hospital, an acute-care facility which aligned with Medversant earlier this year.
