How a teleradiology practice cut hospital credentialing from 3–4 hours to 30 minutes a packet
Hawkeye Physicians PLLC, a New York teleradiology practice, reads X‑rays and CT scans for its partner hospitals. Every radiologist has to be credentialed at every one of those hospitals, and each hospital has its own packet. With Instafill.ai filling those packets from one profile per radiologist, a packet that took 3–4 hours now takes under 30 minutes, review included.

The challenge
Each hospital sends its own medical staff application, a radiology privileges form tied to its imaging equipment, and a reappointment packet every one to two years. The answers barely change between them: licenses, DEA and NPI numbers, training with program directors, 15 years of affiliations, 10 years of malpractice coverage. The coordinator still retyped several hundred fields per packet, often into scanned pages that could not be typed into at all.
A single wrong date or license number can hold up an approval for weeks, and until a radiologist is approved at a hospital, they cannot read for it.
The solution
First, the scanned and flat hospital forms were turned into fillable PDFs with flat-to-fillable conversion: medical staff applications, reappointment packets and privilege delineation forms. Each hospital's form is converted once.
Each radiologist's licenses, training, affiliations, coverage and references now live in one reusable profile, and every hospital's packet is filled from it. The long affiliation and malpractice histories go in row by row through table and list filling.
The coordinator reviewed each hospital's first packet and flagged any field that came out wrong. Every later fill of that form starts from the corrected version.
The results
| Before | With Instafill.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Time per packet | 3–4 hours | Under 30 minutes |
| Scanned packets | Retyped or handwritten | Converted once, then filled |
| Provider data | Re-entered for every hospital | Kept once per radiologist |
| A new hospital contract | Hours of typing per radiologist | One form to set up |
The coordinator now spends their time with the medical staff offices instead of on data entry. Adding a radiologist means one more profile; adding a hospital means one more form, not another administrator.
