What happens after the application is sent?

When submitting applications via standard mail the processing and email response time will fall within 7-12 business days following the date the application is received by the Medical staff Office (MSO). Once the MSO begins processing your application you will receive an email from Courion@kaleidahealth.org. This email will provide you with your system user name and important instructions. Please add Courion@kaleidahealth.org to your email address book now, so that this important email does not go into your junk folder.

If your application is deemed incomplete (unanswered questions or omissions, including signature attestation form, on the application or if any of the required documentation is not submitted), the Medical Staff Office will notify you of the outstanding information required from you. Your application will also be deemed incomplete if the need arises for new, additional or clarifying information at any time during the application process.

Accreditation standards require verification of certain data with the primary source. This is accomplished by requesting verification directly from the individual or institution and requiring that their response be returned directly to our office. Information requiring primary source verification includes, but is not limited to, professional school graduation, postgraduate training, professional references, hospital affiliations, malpractice history and professional licenses. In addition, we query the National Practitioner Data Bank and the Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals as part of consideration of any applicant. For your application to be considered complete, all information must be verified. Please remember it is ultimately the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all information has been received.

Upon completion of the primary source verification, your application with all related verification and supporting documentation will be reviewed by the department Chief of Service. The Chief of Service will complete the privileging and decision making portion of the application process. The Medical Staff Office will notify you when your application and request for privileges has been approved. Completion of the application DOES NOT guarantee acceptance by Kaleida Health.

Thank you for your interest in Kaleida Health, you have now begun the application process. Our new application team will be reaching out to you via email and we look forward to your correspondence.
