The credentialing process includes review of the licensure, training and education of skilled care providers (e.g. Physicians, Dentists, Family Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants) and assures their clinical competency and that they maintain regulatory compliance in their scope of practice. This process is mandated and defined in the civilian sector by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC), and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The credentialing and privileging process within the military is dictated by Army Regulation (AR) 40-68.
