| 5 Questions Every Hospital Should Ask Themselves |
| "Just as the NPDB eliminates many letters and phone
calls to obtain malpractice claims history and disciplinary
action, we feel PHDB will eliminate many steps in the process
to obtain rapid reliable hospital affiliation information.
Also, now that we route all verification requests to the
PHDB, we have more time for other important tasks in the
Medical Staff Office. I encourage all hospitals to participate." |
Linda Waldorf, Manager of Medical Staff Services
Duke Health Raleigh Hospital, Raleigh, North Carolina |
| "It's about time something like the PHDB existed!
With recent cutbacks in our office, the PHDB is providing
us the opportunity to serve other hospitals better and faster
by giving them instant access to verifications of our medical
and allied health staff. Hospitals can now forego printing
and mailing verification letters and go directly to the
PHDB for instant verification letters, which in turn will
save them time. And...it's easy to become a Participating
Hospital. After viewing our options, the PHDB provided us
exactly what we needed...they've helped to make our MSS
lives more efficient and easier!" |
