Primary Source Verification (PSV) is a process used in the healthcare industry to confirm the accuracy of credentials and qualifications. Verification of training, license, certification, employment history and other relevant information is done through the primary source, such as the issuing body, education institutions or other organizations.

For example, contacting the applicant's medical school to confirm that the information provided on the degree is correct. The role of Primary Source Verification in healthcare is crucial. It ensures that the patients are in good hands and that the healthcare professionals have appropriate qualifications and experience.

Let's look more closely at the importance of Primary Source Verification in the field of healthcare.

Healthcare organizations can guarantee high-quality care for patients and maintain trust by verifying credentials, license and work experience of healthcare providers.

It also provides people with the confidence that healthcare professionals possess the necessary skills and knowledge to provide successful medical care.

Conducting an effective Primary Source Verification early in the hiring process can minimize the need for re-verification in the future.
