title: Credentialing, the most important function for success.
abstract: After years of attempting to control costs by changing providers' behavior and practice patterns, it has become apparent that the solution lies in the study and cooperation of practitioners. Computers, reports, analysis, and payment reforms have discovered the truth: Many physicians and hospitals have always provided high-quality care efficiently. Costs will be controlled when these providers dominate the health care delivery system.
