Background Screening Services for the Healthcare Industry

Uncover prior offenses with the foundation of any good background check: a criminal history search. Rely on our expertise to design the criminal history background check that you need – including county searches, statewide searches, national criminal histories, and federal searches. Want to go one step further? Ask about continuous criminal monitoring.
Credential Verifications
A healthcare employee’s qualifications are a matter of life and death. Protect your at-risk populations by ensuring the people you hire match the person on the resume. Professional license, education, and employment verifications give you ease of mind when making hiring decisions. Our professional license verification service allows you to check for a candidate’s CPR certification, registered nurse status, CPCT certification, and more. Need to keep up with your current staff? Ask about what we do for recertifications.

Ensure a healthy staff with our one-stop shop for all things occupational health. We offer a secure way to manage your drug testing, physicals, and immunizations – in one convenient location. Candidates enjoy a fully mobile experience, where they can self-schedule, fill out forms, and receive notifications. Drug testing is available as lab-based panels, on-site rapid screening, self-collect oral fluid tests, and hair follicle testing. Need to perform random drug tests on employees? We’ve got you covered there, too.
Verified Watchlist
Rest easy with a comprehensive sanctions search service that keeps FACIS, OIG, GSA, OFAC, and more databases all in one place. Search for sanctioned parties across dozens of watchlists at once with our one-of-a-kind search tool. Even better?
