Credential Network
1/15/25
Healthcare professionals dedicate their lives to helping others—but the systems that support them haven't kept pace. Credentialing (the process of verifying a provider’s qualifications and work history) is often slow, repetitive, and paper-based. Behind every delay is a dedicated team doing their best to navigate a maze of evolving regulations, payer requirements, and institutional complexities. We believe they deserve better tools.
Our vision is a world where healthcare professionals and administrators are empowered by modern, intelligent systems—where a military flight surgeon can seamlessly enter civilian practice, and a newly graduated nurse can begin helping patients without delay. Together, we can remove the friction from credentialing and unlock faster, safer access to care.
Just as digital tools have transformed art, design, writing, and media without replacing human expertise, we aim to transform credentialing by making it simpler and more efficient without replacing credentialing experts. Our goal isn't to eliminate credentialing specialists – it's to supercharge their work by handling routine tasks automatically, allowing them to focus on the complex decisions and relationships that truly require their judgment.
We believe everyone deserves access to efficient credentialing tools. Rather than building a complex system that requires extensive training, we're creating an intuitive platform that helps users quickly achieve proficiency. Whether you're a solo practitioner or part of a large healthcare organization, our tools adapt to your needs while maintaining the highest standards of verification.
The healthcare credentialing ecosystem is built on relationships and trust developed over decades. Instead of disrupting these connections, we aim to strengthen them. We believe in creating mutual benefit through partnership – offering tools that make existing processes more efficient while respecting established workflows and relationships.
Our approach isn't to replace current systems but to enhance them through secure, efficient data exchange and AI-powered workflows. We work alongside credentialing organizations, healthcare providers, and verification sources to create a connected network that benefits everyone. This collaborative philosophy sets us apart from competitors who take a more adversarial approach to market transformation.
Credentialing works best when providers and credentialing specialists can connect and collaborate without friction. That’s why our platform is designed to streamline these interactions through a secure, intuitive digital interface—eliminating the bottlenecks of phone calls, faxes, and fragmented paper trails.
From day one, we’ve prioritized security and compliance. Our system is built to meet the highest standards, including SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA, ensuring that sensitive information is protected every step of the way. This security-first foundation builds trust between providers and administrators, enabling faster onboarding, greater transparency, and smoother workflows across the board.
We’re not just modernizing credentialing—we’re transforming how providers and specialists work together to deliver care faster.
At our core, we are an AI-first company—applying the power of artificial intelligence to one of the most complex and fragmented challenges in healthcare: credentialing. Our platform uses AI not just for automation, but for solving the deep, structural inefficiencies that have long plagued this space.
From parsing unstructured documents to reconciling inconsistent data across multiple sources, our AI systems are purpose-built to reduce manual effort while improving accuracy and consistency. At the same time, we maintain a rigorous commitment to data security and privacy. Personal information is managed with strict adherence to SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA standards, ensuring that AI is applied responsibly, ethically, and securely.
Our goal is to make credentialing smarter—not just faster—by using AI to support informed decisions, reduce error rates, and free up time for specialists and providers to focus on what matters most: patient care.
We're building tools that enhance your expertise and amplify your impact:

We envision a future where:
This isn't just about making existing processes faster – it's about fundamentally transforming how we approach healthcare credentialing. By combining efficient technology with respect for human expertise and relationships, we're building the secure infrastructure needed to unlock human potential and eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic barriers.
Together, we can create a system that works better for everyone – providers, specialists, organizations, and ultimately, patients.
