AWNSER FIRST AND CORRECT AND YOU GET BRAINLIEST

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.

Dr. Perkins has to renew her medical license, but this year she has had four patients file complaints against her, claiming that she is not a good doctor.

Why are the patient complaints most likely a cause of concern for Dr. Perkins now that her license renewal is coming up?

1.The patient complaints can cause Dr. Perkins to get a credentialing penalty.

2.The patient complaints will be posted at Dr. Perkins’ private clinic.

3.Dr. Perkins’ patients may decide to start seeing a different doctor.

4.Dr. Perkins cannot apply for a renewed license if patients complain.

1.The patient complaints can cause Dr. Perkins to get a credentialing penalty.

Explanation:

The patient complaints can cause Dr. Perkins to get a credentialing penalty

The correct option is option 1. The patient complaints can cause Dr. Perkins to get a credentialing penalty.

Explanation:

Credentialing is a formal process that utilizes an established series of guidelines to ensure that patients receive the highest level of care from healthcare professionals who have undergone the most stringent scrutiny regarding their ability to practice medicine. Credentialing also assures the patient that he or she is being treated by providers whose qualifications, training, licensure, and ability to practice medicine are acceptable. Credentialing also ensures that all healthcare workers are held to the same standard.

Now if there are complaints against Dr Perkins, this can lead to a red flag in the credentialing and can result in non-renewal of the license.  Dr. Perkins can apply for the renewal however the licensing organization may not issue the renewed license therefore option 4 is not correct. The rest option 2 and 3 are not affecting the renewal process directly so they are not effective in the renewal process only.

b is the correct answer
