Every hire screened. Every patient protected.

The Stakes Are Higher in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations bear a unique responsibility: the people they hire have direct access to vulnerable patients, sensitive medical records, and controlled substances. A single negligent hire can result in patient harm, regulatory sanctions, loss of accreditation, and devastating liability exposure.

SaffHire's healthcare screening program is designed to meet the rigorous compliance demands of hospitals, clinics, home health agencies, long-term care facilities, and staffing firms delivering fast, accurate, and legally compliant results for every role in your organization.

Regulatory Compliance Built In

Our healthcare screening packages are designed to satisfy The Joint Commission, CMS, OIG, and state-level requirements so your accreditation and billing eligibility are never at risk.

Comprehensive Healthcare Screening Solutions

Every service is designed to meet healthcare-specific regulatory requirements while delivering the speed and accuracy your hiring teams depend on.

Criminal Background Checks

Multi-jurisdictional criminal history searches including county, state, and federal records. OIG and SAM exclusion checks included for all clinical roles.

Drug & Alcohol Testing

Pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion drug testing panels. Candidates are sent to a certified lab for fast, accurate results. Instant result options available.

License & Credential Verification

Primary source verification of nursing licenses, medical licenses, DEA registrations, and all clinical certifications directly with issuing boards.

Employment & Education Verification

Confirm prior employment history and educational credentials for all clinical and administrative staff to ensure accuracy and prevent credential fraud.

OIG / SAM Exclusion Screening

Mandatory exclusion database checks against the HHS Office of Inspector General and System for Award Management lists required for Medicare/Medicaid participation.

Ongoing Monitoring

Continuous post-hire monitoring for license expirations, new criminal activity, and exclusion list additions keeping your workforce compliant year-round.

Meeting Every Regulatory Standard

Healthcare is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. Background screening programs must satisfy a complex web of federal and state requirements and the consequences of non-compliance can include loss of accreditation, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, and significant financial penalties.

SaffHire's healthcare compliance team stays current on all applicable regulations and ensures every screening package is configured to meet the requirements of your specific facility type, state, and payer mix.
