🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen

We’re baaaack. 👀☕️

After a little break, Credentialing Chronicles is back to Spillin’ Tea Across America — and we’re kicking it off in none other than The First State.

Is Delaware too small for its own good?

In this episode, Shannen and Nyleen dive straight into the uniquely tight-knit healthcare ecosystem of Delaware. With nearly 100% provider participation in the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN), it looks like a compliance dream. But does high-tech connectivity actually prevent fraud… or just give it a better place to hide?

We’re unpacking what happens when a “thin pipeline” of behavioral health and primary care providers turns into a full-blown pressure cooker for MSPs and compliance teams. From the overuse of “temporary privileges” to the reality of one person juggling 1,200 provider files, we’re talking about how “we’ll fix it later” quietly becomes permanent risk.

Delaware may be small — but the oversight stakes? Massive.

We’re back. We’re louder. And we’re spilling it all.

Stay Credentialed, Not Cancelled.
