Visual Cactus App Central Language

I understand that App Central is a product of CACTUS Software that has been purchased and is utilized by MERCY HEALTH for the purpose of collecting and communicating information necessary to complete the credentialing and privileging process for MERCY HEALTH. The information requested through App Central is only used for the credentialing and privileging processes associated with MERCY HEALTH.

ID and Password

I understand that I will create a unique identification (ID) code and password to be used to access App Central. I understand that this ID and password are unique codes that identify me in the App Central system. Information and entries that I make via App Central will be logged with my identity.

I understand that it is extremely important that I keep the ID and password that I use to access App Central confidential. If at any time I feel that the confidentiality of my password has been compromised, I will change it by going through the process identified in App Central.

I understand that MERCY HEALTH takes no responsibility for and disclaim any and all liability or consequential damages arising from a breach of confidentiality resulting from my sharing or losing my password.

If the staff of MERCY HEALTH discovers that I have inappropriately shared my password with another person, or that I have misused or abused my access with App Central, my continued access to App Central may be discontinued by the healthcare team without prior notice.

Communication received through App Central

I understand that communication with the Credentialing/Medical Staff Services staff will be completed through App Central, email communication external to App Central, i.e., Groupwise, and through direct conversation (in person, by telephone). The anticipated turnaround time for response to electronic messages is 1 to 2 business days.

Integrity and Validity of Information Submitted through App Central

I understand that all information submitted for the credentialing and privileging process, either through App Central or though any other means, is true, complete, and correct. I agree to supplement the information in my application and supporting documents should any statement, although true when made, may become untrue due to change or discovery of new information. I also understand that the documents completed in App Central may also contain further attestations and statements that call for me to validate that the information is true, complete, and correct.

Use of an Electronic Signature - IMPORTANT

I understand that an electronic signature can be used with any document provided through App Central including the application.

I hereby agree that my typed name on a signature line on any document provided through App Central is the same as and equates to my written signature. I understand that this electronic signature represents my written signature and is no less official or binding as a written signature.
