Automated Credentialing Module Helps Users Exceed ESAR-VHP Guidelines

Austin, TX April 21, 2008 – Today Global Secure Systems announced the availability of Credential Exchange™, a sophisticated automated credentialing module that helps public health departments to meet and exceed the credentialing standards set forth in the ASPR ESAR-VHP guidance. Credential Exchange enhances the ability of the Volunteer Mobilizer™ system to electronically communicate with credentialing organizations’ systems to verify medical provider status.

“State public health departments need access to a variety of credentialing organizations to adequately determine license, credential, and criminal status of volunteer medical providers,” said Weston Dillard, Vice President of Operations. “Credential Exchange gives them an easy-to-use automated tool to collect that information.”

An additional feature of Credential Exchange is the capability to electronically gather provider information from credentialing databases and auto-populate the Volunteer Mobilizer ESAR-VHP volunteer registration form. This eliminates the need for the provider to enter the data manually allowing for quicker registration of providers while minimizing processing errors.

“Our customers lead the nation in medical volunteer preparedness. We are committed to supporting their growing volunteer registration and management needs as well as meeting and exceeding the Federal ESAR-VHP guidelines as they continue to evolve,” added Dillard.
