Abstract

To understand credentialing and privileging, it is helpful to first look at the genesis of such requirements and examine how laws, regulations, agency policies, and common law affect whether or not a nurse practitioner is able to practice in a specific setting and under what conditions.

The process of obtaining credentials and privileges is then addressed. Finally, case examples centering on credentialing and privileging are considered.
