Most everything is in one place. You can move the topics from one folder to another if you don't like where it is (IE Approved Associates can be moved to Credentialing) and so everything you need is all in one folder to .

Credentialing Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/6/2024 "PSV Functionality Is Nice But The Rest Of The Software is Cumbersome" 1/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? I like the integration of a multitude of PSV resources and the interface capabilities with other softwared databases, like NPDB and ABMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? Training process is very confusing and cumbersome. Programming all the settings and nuances of the software (especially mapping payer forms) is very overwhelming and should be handled by folks with IT experience/skills and this should be communicated to the clients who are purchasing the software. The implementation timelines communicated by the salesperson we worked with were also completely unrealistic and it should have been better communicated that those timelines are only even remotely possible with a certain sized team possessing specific skillsets. Our administration expected that two people with only basic to moderate computer/tech skills would be able to get all of the modules up and running in 4-6 months because the sales team from CredStream didn't offer more detailed info about the implementation timeline. The enrollment module is almost more cumbersome than it is helpful. Payers are moving from paper forms to portals and CredStream's chrome extension doesn't function anymore unless you are constantly remapping the online portals. The chart review module is not at all reasonable for a high volume of chart reviews given that each individual chart has its own link. If a physician is reviewing 50 charts, that's 50 individual links the physician has to navigate and keep organized and have crowding their inbox. The appointment/reappointment module is also less streamlined than our current process and places a burden on those reviewing the physician packets for appointment. Overall, our company is spending $25k per year for this software and only after going through all the trainings did we realize that the only benefits CredStream can offer our company are expirables tracking and ongoing monitoring in addition to having a centralized place for physician profiles/information. We likely would have opted for a different software had we known the details of the software (i.e. more than just a sales demo) prior to signing the contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? The only thing CredStream is helping us with is ongoing monitoring and expirables tracking along with a centralized place to store physician data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That we have the ability to track license expirations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? The platform is cumbersome to use in every aspect, the onboarding training was confusing and my org doesn't utilize it as much as we should because it is not easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you?

The sales pitch proposed a great product. We were initially very excited to get started with CredentialStream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? The training materials are lacking and focused on only one type of customer. Often we would encounter issues with the platform that we would have to teach the support team to comprehend, and they were then unable to fix. We were excited about the potential of the reporting, however the reporting options are extremely limited and often don't work as advertised. After a very frustrating couple of years with this platform we are thrilled to be using a different much more user friendly platform at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? I can't answer this question because CredentialStream only exaccerbated our issues. They seem to have acquired too many software platforms simultaneously and grew too fast and cannot sustain the product. We have many clients who had the same experience and are working to get away from this platform as quickly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
