Once a risk management process limited to hospitals, the practice of practitioner credentialing has expanded to include many other health care organizations, including insurers, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, management services organizations, medical groups, and independent practice associations. Standards set by recognized accreditation bodies, including the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (Joint Commission), National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and American Accreditation Health Care Commission/Utilization Review Accreditation Committee mandate a substantial effort to properly evaluate the credentials of health care practitioners. A sector of commerce called the credentials verification organization (CVO) industry has undertaken the mission to make the process of practitioner credentialing more consistent and efficient, faster, and less expensive.
从业者资格认证曾经是仅限于医院的风险管理流程，如今已扩展至包括保险公司、健康维护组织、优选医疗机构、管理服务组织、医疗集团和独立执业协会等在内的许多其他医疗保健机构。包括医疗保健组织认证联合委员会（联合委员会）、国家质量保证委员会（NCQA）以及美国医疗保健认证委员会/利用审查认证委员会在内的公认认证机构制定的标准，要求做出大量努力以恰当地评估医疗保健从业者的资格。一个名为资格验证组织（CVO）行业的商业领域承担起了使从业者资格认证过程更加一致、高效、快速且成本更低的使命。
