Why screen staff in medical & healthcare roles?
Patient safety
Healthcare providers have a high duty of care to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those under their care. Background screening can identify evidence of past criminal activity, substance abuse and other behaviour that may pose a risk to patient safety.
Regulatory compliance
Every branch of the healthcare sector is subject to regulatory standards and requirements. Background screening allows organisations to show compliance with and meet the requirements related to licensing, accreditation and employment eligibility.
Protecting the vulnerable
It is vital in today’s climate to ensure that those healthcare providers who work with the most vulnerable in society maintain the highest standards of care. Background screening can identify any history of abuse or neglect to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those in their care.
Litigation
Stringent background screening serves to demonstrate a high level of due diligence to help mitigate any risks associated with negligence in the hiring process or retention of staff who do not meet the necessary standards of professional integrity.
Professional conduct
Healthcare professionals must adhere to and uphold the highest ethical and professional conduct. Thorough and detailed background screening can identify any prior instances of professional misconduct, disciplinary actions or claims arising from malpractice, to ensure and maintain the integrity of your healthcare workforce.
