除了确定领先医疗保健提供者的常见背景筛查最佳实践之外，观火背调 医疗保健聚焦还总结了这些组织在招聘和筛查计划中面临的主要挑战。

了解 观火背调Health Care Spotlight 中揭示的三大挑战以及解决这些挑战的常见最佳实践。

医疗保健领域的主要招聘挑战
减少整体招聘时间是观火背调 医疗保健聚焦报告中报告的最大挑战，40% 的医疗保健雇主表示担心招聘领域竞争激烈，顶尖人才会迅速消失。这两个工作经历验证和核实职业资格证书被广泛报道的第二个和第三个关键背景审查的挑战。保持对联邦和州法规的遵守是医疗保健提供者报告的第四个挑战。

下面我们将分析报告中提到的主要招聘挑战，并说明就业筛选解决方案提供商如何提供帮助。

挑战#1：缩短
招聘时间在医疗保健组织雇用新员工之前，推荐的做法是进行就业前筛查。

除了就业资格和背景调查外，医疗保健组织还会根据健康与公共服务 (HHS) 监察长办公室 (OIG) 的要求，根据联邦和州制裁名单对申请人进行检查。

如果人力资源专业人士手动验证就业历史、教育历史、专业证书、搜索犯罪登记处和审查制裁登记处，则可能需要数周时间才能批准雇用个人。届时，竞争雇主可能已经完成了筛选过程，向申请人提出了要约并雇用了申请人。

背景筛查提供者如何提供帮助：
为了彻底有效地进行卫生保健工作者筛查，许多组织使用自动背景筛查供应商。按需解决方案可以将复杂的背景调查简化为单个流程。在缩短招聘时间的同时，观火背调 的筛选解决方案提供自动合规功能和提醒，以帮助组织保持对适用法规的合规性。

挑战#2：验证就业历史和证书
根据 观火背调 Health Care Spotlight 的结果，46% 的受访者目前验证了医生的专业证书。为了帮助减少疏忽、欺诈和滥用，医疗保健雇主会核实个人的工作经历并验证他们的执照和证书。

在工作经历中出现负面事件或在筛选过程中未被发现的虚假凭证的人可能危及员工和患者的安全，损害组织的声誉，并可能使组织不遵守筛选规定。

背景筛查提供者如何提供帮助：
为了克服这一挑战，组织将工作经历和证书的验证外包。自动背景筛选解决方案可以验证申请人提供的教育、就业和证书。

为了加强保护，许多雇主对个人居住、工作或学习的任何地点进行刑事、性犯罪和机动车辆记录检查。所有这些检查都可以通过按需背景筛查解决方案来完成。通过适当的背景调查，雇主可以减轻与低质量招聘相关的合规性、安全性、声誉和法律风险。

挑战 #3：遵守联邦和州法规
在 观火背调 医疗保健聚焦中，合规性是医疗保健雇主进行筛查的第一大原因，82% 的受访者曾经或知道有人在检查期间撒谎背景调查。这使得雇主对个人进行适当筛选以确保他们有资格在医疗保健行业工作至关重要。

雇用不合格的工人可能会导致严厉的处罚和罚款。即使组织每年根据联邦和州制裁登记处对个人进行检查，从工人受到制裁到该信息发布到制裁登记处之间也可能存在延迟。如果一个组织每年只进行一次制裁检查，他们也可能会错过在检查之间发生的新发布的制裁。

背景筛查提供者如何提供帮助：
按需背景筛查提供者可以帮助雇主进行高效且有效的初始和持续制裁检查。为了提供更完整的制裁历史，有能力的筛查提供者将检查广泛的已发布记录，其中还包括联邦和州来源。

这种扩展的搜索深度比仅仅检查间歇性更新的联邦和州列表更准确。一些按需背景筛查提供商的内部法律专家还可以通过信息门户和通信帮助雇主了解任何趋势或联邦和州监管变化，以帮助组织保持合规性。

In addition to identifying common background screening best practices from leading healthcare providers, Fireback Healthcare Focus summarizes the key challenges these organizations face in recruiting and screening programs.

Learn about the three challenges revealed in Fireback Health Care Spotlight and common best practices for addressing them.

Key recruitment challenges in healthcare

Reducing overall hiring time is the biggest challenge reported in Fireback's Healthcare Focus report, with 40 percent of healthcare employers expressing concern that the recruiting landscape is so competitive that top talent will quickly disappear. These two work experience verification and verification of professional qualifications are widely reported as the second and third key background check challenges. Maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations was the fourth challenge reported by healthcare providers.

Below we analyze the key recruiting challenges mentioned in the report and show how employment screening solution providers can help.

Challenge #1: Shorten

Recruitment Time Before a healthcare organization hires a new employee, pre-employment screening is recommended.

In addition to employment eligibility and background checks, the healthcare organization checks applicants against federal and state sanction lists as required by the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG).

If a human resources professional manually verifies employment history, educational history, professional credentials, searches the crime registry and reviews the sanctions registry, it may take several weeks to approve the hiring of individuals. By then, the competing employer may have completed the screening process, made an offer to the applicant and hired the applicant.

How background screening providers can help:

To perform health care worker screening thoroughly and effectively, many organizations use automated background screening providers. On-demand solutions can simplify complex background checks into a single process. While reducing recruitment times, fireback screening solutions provide automatic compliance features and reminders to help organizations stay in compliance with applicable regulations.

Challenge #2: Verify employment history and credentials

According to Health Care Spotlight, 46 percent of respondents are currently certified as doctors. To help reduce negligence, fraud and abuse, healthcare employers verify individuals' work history and verify their licenses and certificates.

People who have negative events in their work experience or false credentials that go undetected during the screening process may endanger the safety of employees and patients, damage the reputation of the organization, and may cause the organization to fail to comply with screening regulations.

How background screening providers can help:

To overcome this challenge, organizations outsource verification of work history and credentials. Automated background screening solutions verify the education, employment, and credentials provided by applicants.

To enhance protection, many employers conduct criminal, sexual and motor vehicle records checks anywhere an individual lives, works or studies. All of these checks can be done with an on-demand background screening solution. Through proper background checks, employers can mitigate the compliance, security, reputational and legal risks associated with low-quality hires.

Challenge #3: Comply with federal and state regulations

Compliance was the no. 1 reason for screening by healthcare employers at Fireback Healthcare Focus, with 82% of respondents having or knowing someone who had lied about a background check during a test. This makes it critical for employers to properly screen individuals to ensure they are qualified to work in the healthcare industry.

Hiring unqualified workers can result in severe penalties and fines. Even if organizations conduct annual checks on individuals against federal and state sanctions registries, there may be a delay between when a worker is sanctioned and when that information is released to the sanctions registries. If an organization conducts sanctions inspections only once a year, they may also miss newly issued sanctions that occur in between inspections.

How background screening providers can help:

On-demand background screening providers can help employers conduct efficient and effective initial and ongoing sanctions checks. To provide a more complete sanctions history, competent screening providers will examine a wide range of published records, which also include federal and state sources.

This extended search depth is more accurate than just checking intermittently updated lists of federations and states. In-house legal experts at some on-demand background screening providers can also help employers stay aware of any trends or federal and state regulatory changes through information portals and communications to help organizations stay in compliance.
