Leadership at Allina Health, a large Minneapolis-based healthcare system operating 11 hospitals and more than 90 clinics across Minnesota and western Wisconsin, saw the need to launch its own Credentials Verifications Organization (CVO) to improve efficiency in reviewing and approving prospective physician applications.
