title: Growing pains of credentialing research: discussions from the institute of medicine workshop.
abstract: Credentialing research currently lacks substantial depth to validate the connection between credentialing and patient outcomes. However, it is essential to demonstrate that credentialed nurses and organizations can significantly impact the provision of high-quality patient care. This article highlights the challenges of demonstrating such an impact, which was identified at the recent Institute of Medicine meeting, Credentialing Research in Nursing.
