" I have been a #1 devotee of Vistar Technologies since 1999 when I first was enlightened by their fantastic product.  At that time, I assessed several other “prominent” software programs in the market and they did not compare to the capabilities of Vistar Technologies even at that time.  Since then, I have had the opportunity to again access other prominent software on the market and Vistar Technologies has continued to be the superior product of it’s kind in the market.  I would never consider another product over Vistar Technologies.  This product has the capability to handle any and ALL aspects of healthcare management (managed care, medical staff, business number processing, etc.).

 Their customer service is absolutely awesome.  All of the staff has wonderful personalities and you feel so comfortable working with them.  They graciously will help you find a solution to any performance challenge you might encounter and they will stick with it until you are 100% satisfied.  They are very dedicated to their clients and really make them feel like a part of the Vistar Technology family. "

" When I became the credentialing manager at a new company, my first responsibility was to transition from the company database to the Vistar Imaging Profiler System.  I was pleased to find that Vistar had the transition project clearly outlined and the Vistar staff was friendly and helpful.  The transition of our data into Vistar was accurate and the training of new users was comprehensive so we began using Vistar right after the staff training.  During the transition and since then, Vistar customer service has been readily accessible and supportive. "

I have used Vistar for several years and find it to be the most comprehensive program I’ve ever seen.  Anything and everything I want to know about a practitioner or group of practitioners is available to me in seconds. 

I track CME’s, meeting attendance, disciplinary reports, patient complaints and have the capability to track record reviews, peer review points assigned, etc.  Documents are scanned in and we are moving towards totally paperless credentialing and credentials files.

Each day I think of something else I’d like to track, trend or report on, only to find that Vistar already has something in place that I can use.  On the few occasions I have run into difficulties running a report or obtaining needed information, I call Vistar and someone is always available to walk me through the process and identify the problem quickly and professionally.

Vistar Technologies is on the cutting edge of credentialing and privileging software.  They continue to enhance their product to remain competitive, but also, out of loyalty to their customers.  The ease with which I can create form letters and reports, FAX or email documents, and manage credentialing is why I chose Vistar.  The excellent customer service and support is why I will stay with Vistar.

When searching for a credentialing database system we were looking for one that would enable us to have a physician’s file at our fingertips.  In Vistar, we found that product.

Vistar’s strength is its imaging component.  By incorporating images as part of a provider’s database record you are able to access all parts of the record on-line.  Vistar’s attributes were never better demonstrated than at our recent JCAHO survey.   We were able to use Vistar during the Credentials interview and provide the surveyor with information from criteria for granting privileges to demonstrating how each and every bit of information is primary source verified. 

Vistar has made the credentialing experience at Valley much more pleasant.
