Hospital Credentialing and Privileging at Norton Healthcare

Applications for hospital privileges at Norton Healthcare’s Louisville, Kentucky, hospitals and at Norton Clark Hospital and Norton Scott Hospital in Southern Indiana are processed internally by the Norton Healthcare System Medical Staff Office. Only one application is required if requesting privileges at more than one facility.

Norton Healthcare uses a web-based application called MD-App/MD-Staff to process initial and reappointment applications for physicians, advanced practice providers (such as nurse practitioners or physician assistants) and allied health professionals (such as research coordinators or surgical assistants).

The System Medical Staff Office works directly with applicants to initiate the application process, and providers are prompted to complete their application online via an email link. Once completed and submitted by the provider, the application is processed entirely by the System Medical Staff Office.

Providers and their office managers are contacted as their three-year reappointment cycle deadline approaches to begin the reappointment process. Incomplete privilege applications cannot be presented to the Norton Healthcare board of trustees for approval. Providers cannot practice until their privileges are approved by the board.

In addition to MD-App/MD-Staff, we have implemented several technology-based strategies to enhance processing, including:

  • Electronic peer references (Pronto)
  • Prepopulated application (based on last application)
  • Electronic document signature
  • Electronic application fees processing
