We Understand The Specific Needs Of The Healthcare Industry
EBI has the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the ever-changing requirements of healthcare background screening. We assist hospitals, nursing facilities, assisted living communities and healthcare staffing firms develop strategies to meet their unique hiring needs.
EBI has developed comprehensive best practices, which enable employers in the healthcare field to meet compliance requirements, protect themselves from liability and gain the most return on investment (ROI) from their screening program. A solid screening program represents proper due diligence and protects healthcare entities from negligent hiring litigation.
EBI recommends that a comprehensive background check be conducted on all healthcare employees, including entry-level and temporary staff positions and in accordance with state and federal law. A search of county, state and national database records and sex offender registries should be conducted on all candidates. We offer federal exclusion databases such as OIG/GSA along with exclusionary databases searches and Lab Based Medical Professional Testing, among other.
Healthcare Sanctions Report (HSR)
With the EBI Healthcare Sanctions Report (HSR), you are now able to screen individuals and entities in the healthcare field against a comprehensive historical database of adverse actions. This includes more than 600,000 adverse records of debarred, disciplined, excluded or sanctioned individuals and entities. HSR reports from more than 800 sources and about 50 types of healthcare professionals ranging from physicians and PA’s, nurses, mental health professionals and pharmacists to home health agencies, hospitals, clinics, managed care agencies and ambulatory services.

As stated in The OIG Special Advisory Bulletin From September 1999
“No Federal program payment may be made to cover an excluded individual's salary, expenses or fringe benefits, regardless of whether they provide direct patient care...Prohibition applies whether the Federal reimbursement is based on itemized claims, cost reports, fee schedules or PPS.”
Lab Based Medical Professional Testing
The potential of drug abuse by healthcare professionals and the immense liability on your organization calls for specific testing for drugs in the healthcare industry. Medical Professional Testing is a comprehensive urine test that provides for an extensive panel of drugs at cut-off levels that exceed current “standard” workplace levels. This type of testing is a superb choice for companies employing healthcare workers with access to medications. Medical Professional Testing is an excellent tool and suitable for testing employees working within hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, medical/dental practices, pharmaceutical manufacturers or any licensed medical profession.
