With all your other responsibilities, it’s easy to overlook something as fundamental as keeping staff licenses current. Don’t. Especially when you see how simple and secure it is to outsource it with CredentCheck.
The licensing issue
The Joint Commission requires that healthcare facilities’ licenses are current and verified with the primary sources. Guidelines also demand that the proper license is held to meet each set job requirement. Managing the multitude of professional licenses of a large hospital staff can be extremely challenging. And mistakes are easily made, which can result in costly and risky issues with accreditation and public relations. PreCheck sampled several hospitals and reviewed their license management practices. PreCheck discovered license inaccuracies ranging from 12% to 80%, including expired licenses, incorrect expiration dates, and incorrect data. PreCheck also found licenses that did not match job requirements and facilities that did not properly document the verifications. The Joint Commission requires that healthcare facilities keep track of their licensed staff and maintain compliance 100% of the time to be an accredited institution. If an auditor visited your facility today, are you confident that you would be compliant?

CredentCheck helps your facility establish the very best practices to ensure patient safety by monitoring and verifying licenses and certification credentials. The Joint Commission’s goal is to reduce the risk of fraudulent credentials and, under Standard HR. 1.20 EP3, requires facilities to verify licenses with the primary source at the time of hire and upon expiration.
