Newport Hospital presently has close to 300 credentialed providers associated with its medical staff. Staffing categories include: Active, Affiliate, Consulting, Senior Active, Courtesy, Honorary, and Referring Associate. The Referring Associate category is an increasingly popular option for physicians and allied health professionals who desire a relationship with Newport Hospital for cross referrals and access to real time patient data results through LifeLinks, our clinical informatics system, without maintaining clinical privileges.
The Medical Staff Services office is a shared service that performs joint medical staff and credentialing functions for Lifespan affiliates, including Newport Hospital. Included in the credentialing functions are the processing of initial applications, re-applications, requests for staff status changes and requests for privileges. Additionally the team will help physicians and allied health professionals with questions related to IS Access, Net Learning, parking and orientation.
