The Value of Continuous Monitoring:
Near real-time monitoring goes beyond a one-time, fixed-point background check and informs you of recent information that might put your organization at risk. Benefit from a 360-degree view into your roster’s ongoing safety and compliance:
-
- Identity and address potential risk more quickly: Manual rescreens with long turnaround times for results can cause a delay in receiving key information. Continuous monitoring solutions are designed to alert you to new convictions, sanctions, arrests and more in near-real time, giving you more time to act when it matters most.
- Reduce manual work: Constantly checking and updating manually steals time from mission-critical tasks and increases administrative burden.
- Lower potential risk: Lacking timely access to the information you need to assess whether an employee continues to meet your organization’s standards can cost you valuable response time.
- Avoid unnecessary fines and/or reputational damage: Learning about reportable convictions, arrests and license changes in near real-time can help you quickly identify and mitigate potential reputational and financial risks, like negligent retention claims.
- Minimize administrative burden: Shifting from rescreening to ongoing monitoring reduces costly resources used for manual ordering and reporting.
Rescreening v. continuous monitoring
| Rescreening | Continuous monitoring |
| No real visibility into new activity, alerts or sanctions | Ongoing risk management in near-real time |
| Captures the status of individuals at a single point in time | Quick access to ongoing information to assess appropriate action |
| New information is not reported until rescreen is complete | Minimize risk of potential sanctions, fines, and loss of accreditation |
| Reports may create more manual and possibly unnecessary action | Streamlined reporting with applicable notifications |
How Accurate handles continuous monitoring
Many post-employment monitoring solutions only track one aspect of an employee’s eligibility — they search criminal records but not driving violations, or they only track license and sanctions status. Disparate solutions can create excess manual work and drive up your screening costs, all while increasing your potential risk of errors, missed alerts, and compliance violations. Accurate includes criminal records, MVR, license and sanctions monitoring in one platform. Receive alerts in near real time, all while reducing manual work, rescreens and screening expenses.
MVR (Motor Vehicle Records) Monitoring
With Accurate’s MVR monitoring, get automatic alerts for DUIs, suspensions, revocations, and violations in near real time so you can take the action to help you mitigate risk and protect your organization. Track continuous license status and violations across all 50 states and customize alerts to your organization’s needs.
License and Sanctions Monitoring
Get the information you need to support your compliance with Medicare and other federal programs with Accurate’s FACIS Level 1 or 3M checks. FACIS searches more than 3,500 primary sources — from federal sources like OIG, GSA-SAM, OFAC and the FBI to board records— to give you the most current, complete picture of each individual’s status.
Criminal Record Monitoring
Criminal record monitoring provides near real-time alerts on reportable arrests, warrants, convictions and other violations based on pre-set criteria. Alerts from various state, local and national databases, courts, and state sex offender registries keep you in the loop, no matter where you and your employees are located. Customize alerts to each role’s responsibilities and risk profile.
Social Media Monitoring
Accurate’s social media monitoring services search and analyze critical risk categories, including bullying, toxic language, and threats of violence, to uncover potential problematic patterns in employee behavior and reveal current information. If something’s happening right now, you’ll have the information that can provide you valuable insight.
