Description
The health authorities are responsible to review their medical staff members’ credentials and privilege requests. Credentialing and privileging are processes of formal recognition and attestation that a practitioner is qualified to practice. Credentialing is the process of assessing and confirming the qualifications of a licensed or certified health care practitioner. This includes screening and evaluating a practitioner’s qualifications and experience. Privileging is the process used to review and grant medical staff member requests for privileges, which are the permission to perform a defined set of clinical activities at a specific facility. Both processes are separate from licensing, which is an aligned but distinct process undertaken by the relevant regulatory colleges (College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, the BC College of Nurses & Midwives, and the BC College of Oral Health Professionals).
In the current state, the six (6) BC health authorities and affiliates share an On-Premise system that is customized to each organization’s structure. In the existing system, there are about 1000 active system users (including both the health authority / organization credentialers and BC MQI administrators) at approximately 300 HO sites, and approximately 13,000 active practitioner users.
This RFP seeks to identify a replacement solution for credentialing and privileging medical staff in BC health authorities.
On behalf of BC MQI, PHSA is looking for a solution that is primarily delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS, Cloud). Further, PHSA seeks a solution that is: configurable, user-friendly, scalable, secure, has an open architecture, and includes capabilities or tools for configuration, reporting, and administration.
Interested parties are invited to respond to this RFP.
