Hiring a sanctioned physician may effect the hospital’s ability to bill for services
Reasonable anticipation of possible neglect is grounds for legal action
Accusations of abuse and misconduct do not always result in loss of license
All personnel, including non-medical, can pose a risk
Avoiding embarrassment or “digging too deep” is not a reliable defense for provider misconduct
Annual credentialing is a time consuming and difficult process
Disciplinary action varies by state and, in some states, voluntary surrender of license is not reported to the Federation of Medical Boards. Strategic use of various overlapping background screening services greatly reduces the chance of missed information. Navigating the resources, databanks and search tools with the help of a professional background screener can help reduce information gaps, save time and control costs. Our Account Executives are specially trained in these techniques.
For hospitals, independent medical practices and clinics, nursing and senior care facilities and healthcare staffing agencies, initial and ongoing credential monitoring can be a logistical nightmare. JACHO compliance requires Primary Source Verification (PSV) of all licensed, registered and certified staff.
Our Account Executives can discuss each of our services, and the standards they meet, so you can create a customized package matching all your requirements.
Healthcare staffing agencies support a unique role, helping facilities and practices survive surges in demand and match people with positions across the country. Choice Screening has a strong foundation in the demands of this industry and has worked with many organizations to improve and streamline their hiring process through the use of effective, fast and reliable background screens.
