Why Run Healthcare Background Checks?

A string of impressive initials after a person's name shouldn't exempt them from healthcare credentialing or ongoing monitoring. Below are some key benefits you'll experience when you choose Foley to run your background checks.

Increase Employee & Patient Safety
Pre-employment screening helps create a safer workplace by identifying individuals with a history of violence, drug-related offenses, or other concerning behaviors before you bring them on board. By screening applicants, you can prioritize the safety and well-being of your employees, patients, and other clients.

Proper Healthcare Credentialing Matters: Here’s How to Ensure You're Covered

 

Healthcare employees interact with vulnerable populations while dealing with highly sensitive information. Who you hire matters, whether they're a physician, pharmacist, medical assistant, home health aide, or even the facility manager.

Of course, not every healthcare employee needs the same healthcare background check. Putting together the right background check package for the right role is something Foley knows how to do quickly and compliantly.

Criminal Background Checks

Just because a person is a doctor, nurse, EMT, or pharmacist, this doesn't mean they don’t commit crimes. And wouldn't you want to know if the healthcare worker you're about to hire has a criminal record? Of course you would. Criminal background checks give the baseline. Ongoing criminal monitoring provides added peace of mind moving forward.


Nursing License Verifications

It might seem unfathomable that a candidate would lie about their healthcare credentials, yet it does happen. This Florida man served time for impersonating a doctor. Or consider this article on "nurse imposters." Bottom line: Healthcare organizations should verify every license/certification for the people they hire. It could be the difference between life and death.


Drug & Health Screening

According to the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, 10%–15% percent of healthcare professionals in the U.S. will misuse substances during their lifetime. And get this: Prescription drug abuse and addiction are five times higher among doctors than in the general population. Conducting a pre-employment drug screening (as allowed by law) can help you hire more confidently. And ongoing drug monitoring can alert you of issues before they get out of control.


MVR Monitoring

Home healthcare employees drive for their agencies traveling to and from clients' homes. These workers also drive clients to appointments or on errands. Conducting a pre-employment or annual MVR check is a good first step in making sure you’re hiring responsible drivers, but it isn't enough. Because these workers drive as a regular part of their daily jobs, you need to know about any changes in their driving records in real time. MVR Monitor does precisely that.
