One of the initial phases of planning is the design phase. AXIOM not only has the knowledge with respect to AIA regulations, NFPA guidelines, State Licensure regulations, but we have the experience and have assisted in the design phase of many facilities. It is imperative that early in the planning, we assist in the design to make sure all regulatory and accreditation standards are being met. AXIOM over the years has built relationships with many qualified healthcare architects and planners as well. We are happy to provide these vendors as references to our clients.

AXIOM over the years has built relationships with many vendors who operate in the ambulatory market. We have had the opportunity to screen those vendors that we feel provide an exceptional service. When it comes to billing, it is one of the most crucial and yet somewhat mysterious areas of healthcare. With the continually changing regulations and requirements, many times it is more cost effective to out-source this function. We are happy to provide our clients with referrals to those vendors we feel are of an exceptional caliber.

Over the years, we have found that healthcare organizations have the best intentions for making sure their Physicians and Licensed Independent Practitioners are truly competent. But what we’ve found is that most organizations don’t meet the standards established by the accrediting bodies. That’s where AXIOM can help. Credentialing is extremely time consuming and labor intensive, which can become overwhelming for any organization. We have extensive experience in the nuances of credentialing.  We will assist you in either training your staff in-house to perform this function, or to work with a Credentialing Verification Organization (CVO) to make sure the standards are met.  

Our services include:

• Full Credentialing and Re-credentialing services for all of your providers. 
• Creating initial application documents
• Creating delineations of privileges
• Gathering all documented required per State and Accreditation Standards
• Establishing/completing applications for National Practitioner Data Bank accounts
• Establishing/completing applications for AMA profile accounts
• Processing all initial and reappointment applications
• Maintaining documents such as Licensure, DEA’s, malpractice insurance and other documents which may expire. 
• Complete primary source verifications (as needed)

NOTE:  much of this can be done remotely with the final product being emailed to you. 

• On-site assessments of current credentialing process (including review of applications, privileges, approved procedure list, etc)
• Review and implementation of credentialing policies & procedures
• Training courses for staff and leadership on the credentialing process
• Assessment of current processes as it relates to Licensed Independent Practitioners/Allied Health credentialing, and identifying areas for improvement

We can assist you with all of your credentialing needs.

AXIOM works with a number of highly qualified and experienced equipment planning organizations

With the ever changing healthcare enviroments, many staffing agencies are being required/requested to become accretited. As organizations make the choice on which agency they will contract with , having one that is accredited allows the organization to know that certain parameters are already met and in line with their own regulatory requirements. AXIOM has assisted a number of staffing agencies in obtaining accreditation. 

As a small business owner or facility, many times the human resource function is handled by a management position. Maybe even someone who has no experience in this area.

Including, Payroll companies, insurance agents, to 401K managers and legal representation. We have had the opportunity to screen those vendors that we feel provide an exceptional service.
