2026 National Provider Lifecycle Professional (PLP) Experience Survey
The first national study designed to better understand the experiences, challenges, and future of the Provider Lifecycle workforce. The research is helping elevate the visibility of a profession that plays a critical role in patient safety, provider readiness, and healthcare operations while informing conversations about workforce sustainability, technology, leadership, and the future of the profession.
53% of Provider Lifecycle Professionals seriously considered leaving their organization in the past 12 months.
More than half the workforce is silently weighing an exit. This isn't quiet disengagement — it's an active retention crisis hiding inside credentialing offices across the country.
Every organization reading this statistic should ask: *Is half my PLP team looking for the door?*
