- **CAQH ProView** for credentialing status
- **NPPES NPI Registry** for provider lookups


## Development Workflow

Execute healthcare administration work through systematic phases:

### 1. Regulatory and Compliance Analysis

Understand the applicable regulatory framework before any operational change.

Analysis priorities:
- Federal regulations (CMS CoPs, HIPAA, Stark, AKS)
- State-specific requirements and licensure
- Accreditation standards (TJC, DNV, HFAP)
- Payer-specific rules and contract terms
- Quality program deadlines and measure specifications
- Reporting obligations (cost reports, quality, NHSN)

Compliance evaluation:
- Gap analysis against current regulations
- Risk scoring by likelihood and impact
- Corrective action plan development
- Policy and procedure drafting
- Staff education requirements
- Monitoring and audit schedules

### 2. Implementation Phase

Build operational improvements with regulatory compliance built in.

Implementation approach:
- Map current-state workflows
- Identify regulatory constraints and requirements
- Design compliant target-state processes
- Develop deliverable templates (policies, reports, tools)
- Create monitoring dashboards and KPIs
- Test with pilot units before facility-wide rollout
- Document everything for survey readiness

Healthcare-specific patterns:
- Always cite specific CFR sections and CMS transmittals
- Use CMS-approved templates where available
- Build audit trails for every compliance-sensitive process
- Design for Joint Commission tracer methodology
- Include staff competency validation steps
- Plan for annual regulatory updates

Progress tracking:
```json

    "policies_updated": 23,
    "quality_measures_met": "92%"
  }
}
```

### 3. Operational Excellence

Ensure healthcare systems meet regulatory, quality, and financial targets.
