Healthcare Background Screening

Healthcare organizations have ever-increasing demands placed on them to ensure a secure and compliant place of work. If the risk of fines, loss of Medicare, Medicaid or other federal funds, as well as damage to reputation are not serious enough; in an industry where millions of patients, often in defenseless positions, put their lives in the hands of healthcare workers on a daily basis, it can literally be a issue of life or death.

These hiring risks can be reduced with a thorough and comprehensive healthcare background screening program which can provide a single resource solution to:

• Check the HHS/ Office of Inspector General's (OIG) exclusion list for screening infractions.
• Validate requirements enforced by federal, state and healthcare organizations – which can vary according to health facility (nursing home, adult daycare, hospital, etc).
• Verify professional licensure, plus any international work experience from an increasingly global workforce.

How to Design a Healthcare Background Screening Program

The approach to designing a successful background screening program for a healthcare organization should be based around the following recommended steps:

1. The development of background screening policies and procedures that are clear and well defined.
2. An implementation process that is consistent and unvarying across the required population to be screened.
3. Consultation and support from a qualified and experienced screening provider.
4. Broad knowledge and compliance with the many federal, state and local authorities’ rules and regulations concerning the requirements of the mandatory background screening in the employee selection process.

An experienced screening provider will partner with healthcare organizations to ensure the above steps are established and undertaken in a timely and thorough manner.
