9.15.2025 CR Certification—File Review System: Prior Decision Date The self-assessment in the CR Certification File Review System asks for a current decision date and previous credentialing date to evaluate the current recredentialing cycle.

For now, users should enter the same date used in the “Date Reported” (the date reported to the client) field.
