What's Hot And What's Not - Credentialing

The statement "Your TB/PPD never expires" is incorrect. TB/PPD (Tuberculosis/ Purified Protein Derivative) tests are used to determine if a person has been infected with tuberculosis bacteria. These tests have an expiration date, usually within 6 months to a year, after which they are considered invalid. Therefore, the correct answer is False, indicating that TB/PPD tests do expire.

The statement suggests that there are no timelines for the completion of paperwork. However, the correct answer is false, indicating that there are indeed timelines for completing paperwork. This implies that there are specific deadlines or timeframes within which paperwork needs to be finished.

The statement suggests that it is possible to work with an expired license or ARRT card, which is incorrect. In most professions, including those related to healthcare, it is essential to have a valid and up-to-date license or certification to practice legally and ensure patient safety.

It is not okay to not notify the office even if you know your paperwork is updated. It is important to inform the office about any changes or updates in your paperwork to ensure that they have the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Therefore, it is always necessary to inform the office regardless of the status of your paperwork.

The given answer is true because receiving an alert notifying you that your credentials will soon expire is a common practice in many systems and organizations.

In this scenario, the statement is asking whether it is necessary for the person to sign their job description. The correct answer is "True" because signing a job description is a common practice in many organizations.

Signing the job description also provides a record that can be referred to in case of any disputes or misunderstandings in the future.

The statement "You cannot decline the Hebatitis B Series" is false. This means that individuals have the option to decline or refuse the Hepatitis B series vaccination.
