The vetting levels are as follows:

- Basic Level: All listed Experts undergo a review of their education and experience by our staff to ensure alignment with the Studio's mission and goals.

- Featured Experts: Recognized leaders in their specific areas of expertise.Panel Experts: Specialists selected for their in-depth knowledge on specific topics.

- User-Rated: All Experts receive ratings from users, providing an additional layer of vetting.

Our team is committed to supporting Experts in advancing through these vetting levels, enhancing the overall quality of expertise available on the platform. If you have any questions about our vetting process or wish to improve your Expert status, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Why are some experts nationally recognized while others do not have the same level of credentials?
The Care Transformation Studio is designed to showcase a diverse range of healthcare professionals. We intentionally feature both nationally recognized experts and emerging talents with valuable expertise, skills, and experience.

Our platform allows these professionals to promote their content and services, regardless of their current level of recognition. While some experts on CTS are already influential voices in their fields, others are the rising stars and future leaders of healthcare transformation. The nurse with three years of frontline hospital-at-home experience may provide insights just as valuable as those from a widely recognized expert, depending on your specific needs.

CTS is where you can engage with both the established authorities and the next generation of healthcare innovators. We encourage you to explore expert profiles to find the best fit for your requirements, and our team is always available to assist you in your search
