Does completing the checklist mean a clinician is approved?
No. It is a planning aid. Your medical staff office and committees decide privileges and approval.

Why each item matters
Licenses, DEA and board certification establish the clinician can practice the work. NPI/NPPES, malpractice and payer enrollment details are needed for billing and coverage. Exclusion screening and the NPDB query protect against placing a sanctioned clinician. Privileges, health screening, life support certifications, system access and orientation make the clinician ready for your specific site.
How Saile handles these items
Saile verifies against state medical boards, DEA, NPI/NPPES, board certification, OIG/Medicare/Medicaid exclusion lists, NPDB, SAM and OFAC, targeting 48 hours to a verified credential file, and starts renewals automatically 60 days before a credential lapses.
