Credential Slip-Ups Are Expensive: Here’s How to Avoid Them
In pharmacy staffing, a single credentialing mistake can cost far more than time. From regulatory fines to operational disruptions and liability exposure, hiring a candidate without verified credentials puts your business at risk.
Whether you manage a retail chain, long-term care facility, or hospital system, credentialing is not optional. It is essential for maintaining compliance, patient safety, and your organization’s reputation.
Why Credentialing Mistakes Cost More Than You Think
Credential slip-ups come in many forms. A license that has lapsed, a missing certification, or an overlooked background check may seem small, but the consequences are often significant. Employing an unqualified or unlicensed professional can lead to state board fines, terminated payer contracts, and even legal action if patient safety is compromised. Your pharmacy’s reputation is also at risk, which can affect customer trust, employee morale, and long-term business performance. In addition, if the error is discovered too late, you may need to remove and replace the hire, leading to costly disruptions in care and workflow.
