Protect Your Patients and Keep Your Business Safe
In the healthcare industry, clinics have a duty to provide the best care they can for their patients. This means staying abreast of the latest research, leveraging the newest technology, providing in-depth health screenings, and hiring the best doctors and nurses possible. Hiring healthcare staff that are trustworthy and qualified for their positions maintains your clinic’s reputation and keeps your patients safe.
Our thorough and accurate background checks give you the information you need to hire physicians and nurses with confidence — including criminal record checks, education verification, license and sanctions monitoring, previous employment history, drug testing and more.
Why Background Checks Matter for Your Practice
The physicians and nurses in your practice are entrusted with the care of your patients. This often includes being in close physical quarters with patients, accessing their personal information and medical history, and making decisions that affect their long-term health.
As a care provider, your clinic must ensure that your medical staff has the knowledge, experience, and integrity to give your patients the highest level of care.
Hiring an individual without the proper medical licenses, or even hiring a sanctioned physician, exposes your clinic to many possible consequences, including:
- Steep fines for each violation
- Suspension of your ability to contract with Medicare and Medicaid
- Lawsuits from patients
- Potential jail time
Additionally, the reputation of your practice can be severely damaged, and once lost, your patients’ trust can be nearly impossible to regain. Performing an in-depth background check before hiring any physician or RN helps you mitigate these risks and maintain the trust your patients have placed in you.
