Selecting a talent screening partner is a challenging decision-making process for any business, but it is an even more significant decision for healthcare organizations. A thorough background screening program not only supports a healthcare compliance program, it can also impact patient safety.

The background screening industry offers healthcare employers no shortage of options for employment screening vendors. As someone who has been part of the decision-making process for my share of company initiatives, I can understand how this can be a daunting process.

If your healthcare organization is currently evaluating background screening vendors, here are three reasons for including PreCheck in your evaluation process.

1. Healthcare Expertise

The healthcare industry has a unique set of challenges, exacerbated by a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Any organization you work with should have a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape. While many screening firms have a division that focuses on healthcare, it may not be an area in which they excel.

At PreCheck, healthcare has been our exclusive focus for over 25 years. Our mission reflects this commitment: “Connecting people with information to advance the quality of healthcare.” With decades of experience, you can be confident we have worked with healthcare organizations just like yours to streamline their screening programs.

2. Service Commitment

The client experience can vary significantly from one screening partner to another. Unfortunately, this is one factor that is difficult to assess before establishing a client relationship with a company. However, there are still a few ways you can ‘screen’ your potential partners on their level of service.

You can always inquire about a company’s service model. Do they outsource their customer service to a call center or will you have a dedicated representative you can contact throughout your partnership? At PreCheck, we have an in-house team of client services experts dedicated to assisting our clients throughout the talent screening process.

You can also consider a company’s organizational culture to get a glimpse of what it could be like to work with them. At PreCheck, we achieve our mission through our HEART core values: Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork. We are deeply committed to excellence, and our National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) Accreditation demonstrates we operate at the highest level in our industry.

3. Tailored Partnership

Beyond service, your talent screening firm should be a real partner and an extension of your team. Because we are already healthcare-focused from the get-go, PreCheck can offer your organization solutions that are tailored to meet your unique needs.

PreCheck is flexible in our consultative approach, which means we can work together to customize our solution to fit your organization’s unique model. Our seasoned healthcare expertise means we’re often able to provide valuable feedback from both a process and compliance perspective.

Selecting a talent screening partner is a critical decision for healthcare organizations, but including factors such as industry expertise, service quality, and partnership levels in your evaluation can help you reach a better decision.
