Background:
The February 2026 Credentials Committee report reflects that the standard medical staff credentialing process at Hennepin Healthcare System (HHS) has been appropriately followed. The process begins when a current or prospective medical staff member submits an application. A credentialing specialist reviews and verifies the information, flagging any notable items for further evaluation. The application is then reviewed and recommended for appointment by the Department Chair and the Medical Staff Credentials Committee.
At the Credentials Committee, HHS medical staff physicians and providers conduct an in-depth review of each applicant. Following committee approval, the recommendations are reviewed and endorsed by the Medical Executive Committee (MEC) before being presented to the HHS Board - Finance and Operations Committee for final approval. The February 2026 report provided to the HHS Board - Finance and Operations Committee has been vetted and recommended for approval by the MEC.
Current Request: Authorization is sought to grant medical staff clinical privileges to medical providers who have successfully completed the HHS application process and are eligible for appointment to the HHS Medical Staff, as appropriate.
