Are there benefits to outsourcing provider credentialing and privileging? What are they?

The biggest benefit of outsourcing is that it gives the administrator time to focus on other tasks. The first time I outsourced a credentialing cycle, not only did it save me a lot of time, I was also educated on proper credentialing and privileging techniques. Now I use RFX Solutions and have access to continuous monitoring, and everything is electronic for ease of use.
