We are excited to announce a groundbreaking development in healthcare credentialing, led by Dr. Brian Johnston of UW Medicine and our very own, Dr. Chris Bundy. This landmark reform has set a new standard for credentialing processes, placing a strong emphasis on the well-being and mental health of healthcare professionals.

WPHP played a critical role in providing consultation and technical assistance throughout this initiative, helping UW Medicine align their credentialing procedures with best practices that support the health and sustainability of their workforce. By integrating comprehensive well-being measures into the credentialing process, UW Medicine has demonstrated a deep commitment to the mental health of their physicians and healthcare teams.

This reform serves as a model for other healthcare institutions, not just within Washington but across the country. It highlights how a thoughtful, well-supported credentialing process can promote the long-term wellness and success of healthcare professionals.

Some of the key tools involved in this reform include the Peer Reference Form, the Washington Practitioner Application, and the Medical Staff Reappointment Application, all designed to streamline the credentialing process while focusing on practitioner well-being.

At WPHP, we are incredibly proud of our collaboration with UW Medicine and their commitment to improving the credentialing process. Together, we are making a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our healthcare workforce.
