About

One of the Midwest's leading hospital systems with a broad presence across major metropolitan areas, comprising nine hospitals, five medical groups, and over 150 ambulatory sites.  

With a recent expansion and merger, the organization faced the challenge of integrating and streamlining its operations, particularly in hiring and credentialing across its extensive network.

‍

Use Case

In the wake of a recent expansion and merger, the organization faced a heightened need for a streamlined, efficient, and highly accurate background screening process capable of handling its ballooning size and complexity. The merger not only expanded the organization's geographical footprint but also its workforce, necessitating a consolidation of background screening services to ensure uniformity and compliance across all entities.  

The client required a background screening partner adept at managing the intricacies of healthcare employment, including stringent compliance with federal and state regulations.  

The consolidation was crucial for integrating disparate processes and vendors into a unified, effective system that could support rapid hiring decisions, maintain high standards of patient care and safety, and uphold the organization's reputation in the healthcare sector.  

‍

Challenges

The recent expansion and merger presented many critical challenges, leading to a completely disjointed hiring process and heavy administrative burden. The client needed to consolidate different cultures, systems, and processes to make the background screening process much more consistent, efficient, and accurate.  

Prior to partnering with PreCheck, the client also struggled with background check reports that were difficult to interpret and often incomplete, slowing the hiring process sometimes even causing the loss of critical hires. The lack of clarity and completeness of these reports posed not only a compliance risk with healthcare regulations, but made it challenging for recruiters to prioritize tasks effectively.  

‍

Solutions & Outcomes

PreCheck’s 30 years in the industry helped immediately address these challenges by providing detailed, easy-to-understand background check reports that streamlined the hiring process, enabling recruiters to make faster, more informed decisions.  

This not only improved operational efficiency and time-to-fill, but also ensured compliance with healthcare standards, critical in the highly regulated healthcare industry. The consolidation of services under PreCheck eliminated the need to manage multiple vendors, further simplifying the client's processes.  

The value of partnering with a background check provider solely focused on, and deeply experienced with healthcare, cannot be overstated. This brings an understanding of the unique challenges and compliance requirements of the sector, significantly reducing the risk of errors and non-compliance.
