"Criminal checks are crucial to us for the safety of our patients and staff."
"When searching for a credentialing database system we were looking for one that would enable us to have a physician’s file at our fingertips. In Vistar, we found that product. Vistar’s strength is its imaging component. By incorporating images as part of a provider’s database record you are able to access all parts of the record on-line. Vistar’s attributes were never better demonstrated than at our recent JCAHO survey. We were able to use Vistar during the Credentials interview and provide the surveyor with information from criteria for granting privileges to demonstrating how each and every bit of information is primary source verified. Vistar has made the credentialing experience at Valley much more pleasant."
"It isn’t hard to quantify the outcomes [symplr Clinical Communications] has helped us achieve. Technology consolidation and user adoption often are not easy to accomplish, but we now have thousands of active users collaborating on one, unified platform. With that as our foundation, we’re set up for success."
“As we embark on this journey of heightened safety and collaboration, we extend our deepest gratitude to our partner, symplr, who has joined hands with us in this endeavor. Since implementing symplr Access, we feel more confident in our ability to enforce our compliance strategy, increasing compliant vendor check-ins, while reducing requests for exemptions.”
“symplr’s willingness and ability to adapt their system to our requirements puts us in control while recognizing that to facilitate day-to-day business, we have to work with and always be prepared for the unexpected because that’s also a given."
"[Midas] Statit graphs and scorecards are used during TJC inspections to illustrate our physician OPPE process. TJC was very complimentary of our Provider Scorecards."
"You can't train someone to have a good attitude and people skills. The assessments have provided our organization with additional information on applicants, which allows us to make better hiring decisions."
"Seeing my coworkers start to slip into the new cred routine feels pretty amazing on it's own. Due to the change in the way things work and the system requirements for Vistar, etc, Paula has made a submission request to change my job to Credentilaing Analyst, a position that has never existed at Group Health. Vistar has definitely made a lot of changes in the world of Group Health credentialing. The system is so much better at queries and tracking than anything we've had before and I'm only breaching the tip of the iceberg. All the work that's gone into getting us to this stage is more than well worth it."
"It is without reservation that I recommend [symplr] and their system. From initial planning, testing and implementation through updates, upgrades, and new products and services the [symplr] team has been a responsive and knowledgeable collection of professionals."
“As Houston Methodist continued to grow, we realized that it was critical to hire employees who would reinforce and drive the organizational culture,” said Carole Hackett, senior vice president of HR. “We needed candidates who displayed the behaviors associated with a high degree of patient focus.”
“One in four employees was new to the organization, and the new hires needed to be integrated into the culture. It was time to take a closer look at who was being hired, why turnover was increasing, and how to prevent dilution of Houston Methodist’s strong culture and values. With a lot of new people and a lot of change, we needed to create a plan.”
“Our managers had always been good at assessing candidates’ technical expertise, but we wanted to make sure they were identifying the candidates who were also the best cultural fit for the organization.”
"I would recommend Vistar over any other available database that exists .Not only has Vistar met our overall criteria for administration, auditing, data-mining, data entry minimization and data task automation, management tools and full-featured reporting tools, the system is proven. I can honestly say the database has been virtually trouble-free. Current industry standards of other health plans reflect that they are staffed with at least 5-7 specialists, however with Vistar as our credentialing database we are staffed with 3 for a provider network of over 15,000. Moreover, we have just added the CAQH Dynamic Import Utility which will allow us to pre-populate data for credentialing through rosters and download data directly to Vistar eliminating the need for some data entry. With Vistars excellent track record and multi-entity functionalities we are also using Vistar for network recruiting, provider network management inclusive of contract and contact management."
