To ensure that enrollees will receive quality health care, it is intended that the system focus on processes for obtaining credentials and performing peer review that take into consideration the unique nature of rural communities and that track processes required under federal and state law. It is intended that local physicians and hospitals retain responsibility for these processes. These processes are not intended to exclude otherwise qualified practitioners from participating in the system.
