DA Daniel A. Application Analyst Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/4/2026 "CredentialStream Streamlines Credentialing with Clearer Data and Faster Activation" 5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? What I like best about CredentialStream is that it helps create smoother workflows, keeps credentialing data clearer and more consistent, and supports faster activation with less administrative back-and-forth for teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? What I dislike about CredentialStream is that some items appear to remain unresolved or planned for later releases, and there are examples of issues being placed in backlog without a clear ETA. It also looks like some validation and data comparison work requires extra manual review because of duplicate entries, missing values, and table differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? CredentialStream is solving problems around inefficient credentialing workflows, inconsistent data, slower activation, and too much administrative back-and-forth. For me, that benefit is better data consistency, smoother processes, and less manual follow-up when working through credentialing, privileging, and payer enrollment activities.

AC Antony C. Credentialing Associate Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/29/2025 "Centralized Credentialing Made Easy and Efficient" 5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? What I like best about CredentialStream is how it centralizes credentialing, privileging, and enrollment processes in one streamlined platform. It helps reduce manual tasks, improves accuracy, and keeps all provider information easily accessible and up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? While CredentialStream is a powerful tool, some workflows can feel a bit complex initially. It takes time to learn where certain functions are located and how to customize reports effectively. However, once familiar, it becomes much smoother to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? CredentialStream helps solve the challenges of manual credentialing, data tracking, and provider management. By automating workflows and centralizing provider information, it reduces errors, saves time, and ensures compliance with payer and accreditation requirements.

Automated primary source verifications, logging approvals with payers and provider data are all so valuable to our work flows. This system is seamless and easy to use. My team uses it all day every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? Working with the bolt can be tricky, but the Health Stream Support team is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? Credential Stream solved our provider onboarding tracking including demographics, employment contract details, and employment dates. CS also helped my team obtain delegated credentialing.

Database Architect/Mngt III, Credentialing Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/11/2023 "We have been active in CS for over a year now, and the system is always growing" 4.5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? CS integrates credentialing and privileges in a way that our previous software did not allow. The online hub portal for our employed providers is a thing of beauty. Its completely customizable, based on your business requirements, and the CS implementation staff, along with their tech support, are extremely helpful while working on getting your system up and running. The system is constantly evaluating and expanding itself. There are bug fixes, improvements and so on addressed no less than once a month for the entire system. When any person or group has ideas for CS, they have a Thrive community to submit your ideas and have active discussions in relation to those decisions. I have seen many of them go from a simple idea, to an actual feature we can use in CS in the last year. The staff that I have worked with, from our initial impletation, through our go live; the IT help desks, our additional help and further implemetations, have been amazingly helpful and patient (and lets be honest, if I am decaffienated, that last bit can be a big ask). If they didnt know how to address a specific question, they went and found a resource to get an answer for us. I find that "drives for results/can do attitude" is pure magic in any business relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? There's a lot of functionality that requires duplicative set up. There is a number of duplicative entry situations, but they are improving over time. When we purchased the product, we were told that credentialing buildings (healthcare delivery organizations) could be done with the system, but as of right now (over a year after our go-live implementation), it is still not possible to do it with any of the features that need to be tracked for verification etc. We had to add in a bunch of our own screen extender fields to track required data for our various credentialing audit requirements. Hub access for an HDO (called Organization/Office/Location in the CS system) is not an option in its present state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? We had been using a desktop product, and CS is online to so its much more easily accessible, and the provider access is game changing for our group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are so pleased to hear that you're enjoying the Bolt feature and using the platform to streamline your privileging processes. Since there are so many functions of the platform, it can definitely be challenging to absorb it all as a new user.

GT Gabrielle T. Credentialing Coordinator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/25/2024 "System works great for hospital organization" 5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? Our organization utilizes CredentialStream for everything and being able to use one site is excellent. We really like the quick verify for DEA licenses as you are no longer able to access the DEA website to cehck licenses. This makes it very easy to verify the provider has a current one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? The downside to credentail stream that I have ran into, is the applications someimtes to not process correctly. I have had providers come into the office and login and try to submit or submit the application and it does not go through and the support desk is not able to help because they see no issue.

My first-ever credentialing software." 4.5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? CredentialStream has gone through many changes and updates, and these were for the better with more to come! Many of the changes positively affected workflow and in my experience also improved ease of use. Customer support for CredentialStream (and HealthStream) as a whole has an easy-to-use portal where support is thorough and extremely helpful in times of need. As of 2024 this continued support is still thriving and I've never had a issue getting problems resolved or questions answered. They even can hop on a call if needed. In situations where this isn't enough, you have your next levels of support and account managers who assist with contract renewal and support. CredentialStream is continuously looking for ways to improve with a recent change being on how they handle email notifications, report handling and messaging. The option to set up SPF records is there, however, the recent implementation of an in-house email option allows administrators to avoid using SPF records for security concerns. In addition, CredentialStream's flexibility of providing exports whether automatic or manual can allow the integration of third-party systems to pull data from the system via FTP or HL7. Lastly, CredentialStream also provides the ability to add custom data fields to the system with the click of a few buttons which is very useful when combined with reporting and exporting. Provider and location management is very easy with CredentialStream combined with excellent support, developers, and account managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? CredentialStream is ever-evolving but as a technical administrator the only issues I run into are with the bolt editor with all the different types of reports that can be pulled (forms, letters, spreadsheets, listings, exports, and more) and setting access control rules can be slow. In rare cases where some data has more than one set of data pulling it in separate columns within exports or spreadsheets can take a minute to figure out if you aren't using the system often whether is it using different parent tables for it to lay it out correctly, or tinkering with the filtering and export rules. The only other issue is user management as the system can become clogged with old user data and even though the system allows SSO it doesn't provide user provisioning via other sources or utilize one login for the support portal and other HealthStream products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? CredentialStream is always solving issues or supporting me in situations I have with reports, system management, and upkeep (SSO, System Email Management). This allows me to spend more time generating needed reports or updating the system and in return keeping our credentialing process flowing. Their support has given me the info needed at every roadblock I've encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Human Resources Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/25/2024 "CredentialStream is a Amazing!" 5/5 What do you like best about CredentialStream? The best aspect about CredentialStream is that it is a "one stop shopping"!!!. The system houses all the information for the providers. I use CredentialStream all day every day. Any and all information regarding a provider is right there in CredentialStream available to me at any time. At any point I am able to access any information needed regarding a specific provider or any and all providers. The system is set up so that right from a potential new hire, I can reach out to them, through their application process and run all the PSV's, right through to creating the package needed for final approval and granting them privileges. This is also done when a provider is up for reappointment process. There are also websites that allow others in the company to look at the approved privileges for any provider at any time. The "affiliation" site has save me countless hours of verificiations. The system then sends out the notifications needed when any item on their file is about to expire on a timeframe that was decided by our team. The reports I receive are invaluable. The system itself sends out the notifications and then I can check my reports at any time. The system also has the ability to send out the verification for references and affiliations that are needed so it's not a "manual" process for each provider going through either an intial or a reappointment process. We initially went through the implementation which allowed us to set up the system according to our needs. The team that we worked with is still available to me. As time went on, there were a few issues that I needed changed or add and their customer support was very responsive, knowledgable and able to assist me immediately. Just having CredentialStream has assisted me in ensuring I am in compliant at all time. Having all the information needed at my fingertips makes it much easier during the audits by outside agencies . I would highly recommend CredentialStream to everyone who manages the credentilaing process. The ability to streamline all my process and verifications has allowed me a level of comfort and reassurance in my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CredentialStream? I have been asked why I don't like about CredentialStream and I honestly can say that there isn't one thing I don't like. As I was fairly new to credentialing when we implemented this program, it has honestly saved me hours of manual verifications and countless spreadsheets to get the information I need all in one program. I have passed the last two audits I have been through and I am thankful that CredentialStream is our system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CredentialStream solving and how is that benefiting you? The main reason that CredentialStream was implemented was to "house" all the necessary information for the providers. It also was a way to "manage" the Initial or Reappointment process. The benefits to me is time saving but mostly the ability to have all the information needed housed in one area for the provider. As the system is able to send out the notifications of expiring licenses, malpractices, etc and then send me the reports is an absolute time saver. I know only have to "chase" a few providers to get their updated information. To be able to credential a provider from beginning to end using one system that houses all that information again, is invaluable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
