How to document PSV
Record who verified it, the date, the source used and the result, and keep a copy or screenshot of the verification. Re-verify when the credential renews.
Credentialing Check stores the credential document, dates and notes on each clinician's file, so your verification record sits right next to the credential it applies to. Verification itself is done by your team at the primary source.
