Corra Group Expands Employment Screening Choices for Background Checks to the Healthcare Industry

In seeing the robust hiring within the healthcare industry, Corra Group is offering a wider range of background checks to this burgeoning economic sector. With the understanding that hospitals, healthcare facilities, and recruiters all have different challenges in determining their employment screening requirements, the El Segundo, California based company is customizing packages for their current and future needs.

“Healthcare workers can be domestic, but they also come from around the world,” said Nick Gustavson, Corra Group Co-Founder. “Employment screening searches will vary according to where the candidate is from, where they worked previously, and where they went to college.

“With the growth of the industry, human resources managers increasingly find themselves hiring job applicants who have been working in the United States, but who were educated in a foreign country,” said Gustavson. “Their needs then for background checks are different. The HR Manager needs to conduct country criminal records checks and healthcare sanctions here in the United States. But then to meet compliance standards, they may also need to conduct international education verification as well as domestic and international employment verification. In short, their employment screening package will vary from the straight American hire.”

Gustavson indicated that many nurses and caregivers many need to drive to their clients or even chauffeur their clients to doctor’s appointments. He noted that in these cases it becomes necessary to include Motor Vehicle Driving Records Searches, or MVRS, as part of the screening package.

“The Office of Inspector General just issued mandates where some healthcare facilities have to monitor their employees on a monthly basis for healthcare sanctions background checks and disciplinary actions,” said Gustavson. “Corra Group now offers two monthly monitoring programs. One is a more basic program for those healthcare facilities with budgetary concerns. The other is the more comprehensive FACIS Level Three healthcare sanctions report.”

Gustavson pointed out that we are seeing the increased need for healthcare workers for two major reasons. He noted that a lot of young couples are having children, while an aging population has the demands that senior citizens experience in their later years.

“At Corra Group, we realize healthcare is a major industry,” said Gustavson. “But it is also the industry that our physical and mental wellbeing is more than just a monetized commodity. Our health determines quality of life. And we want to help make sure that those who administer our medical needs are compliant and up to standards.”
