The importance of background screening in healthcare

Employers want to hire highly qualified, caring people for the safety and well-being of their patients. In the healthcare industry, however, the pool of superior candidates can be limited, making it imperative for employers to be expeditious in their hiring decisions by implementing an effective, efficient and compliant background screening program. Verifying skills, experience, and licensing credentials, can help you positively identify applicants who possess the desired qualifications while minimizing the risk of non-adherence to regulations and costly negligent hiring lawsuits.

Rescreening
