Evolution of SACRED (staff authority credentialing): an automated credentialing system.

Over a period of 5 years, the medical record department (MRD) at the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health developed and refined a customized medical staff credentialing system. The result is SACRED, an automated credentialing system that supports the changing requirements of the credentialing process and continues to meet the needs of its customers. Using a reiterative approach to development and application of the concept of controlled manageable growth, the system can be maintained by the MRD and is adaptable to change without requiring reinvention or replacement of its basic structure, process, or equipment.

Volume requirements for cardiac surgery credentialing: a critical examination. The Ad Hoc Committee on Cardiac Surgery Credentialing of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

New volume requirements for coronary artery bypass grafting are being imposed on cardiac surgeons by hospitals, managed care groups, and others. The rationale for this is unclear. The available literature as well as additional sources relating volume and outcomes in cardiac surgery were extensively reviewed and reexamined. There are no data to conclusively indicate that outcomes of cardiac operations are related to a specific minimum number of cases performed annually by a cardiac surgeon. Each cardiothoracic surgeon should participate in a national database that permits comparison of his or her outcomes on a risk-adjusted basis with other surgeons. Until conclusive data become available that link volume to outcome, volume should not be used as a criterion for credentialing of cardiac surgeons by hospitals, managed care groups, or others. Instead, each surgeon should be evaluated on his or her individual results.
