Renewing one’s medical staff appointment is not a task most people look forward to, but Kevin Johnson, Medical Staff Services Coordinator, has worked hard to take some of the pain out of the process. The seven page reappointment packet is no longer mailed to the home or office; instead, it is emailed to each member of the medical staff who is up for reappointment. This saves time, postage, and paper.  Kevin used Crystal Reports software to customize the reappointment application.

Information stored in the CACTUS credentialing database can now be imported into the reappointment application. Individuals can easily update and edit the pre-populated information and complete and submit it electronically.
Many of the changes came from recommendations from the members of the medical staff involved in the reappointment process and, so far, feedback on the upgrade has been positive. 

Comments from satisfied customers include:

“I do like this format, it is much easier to complete than in prior years”

“Nice work in organizing this”

“The prepopulated form was fantastic; it was very easy and efficient”

The Medical Staff Services is constantly looking for ways to improve the initial appointment process and welcomes your suggestions.  Please forward comments and suggestions to Kevin Johnson at kjohnson@rockefeller.edu.
