What background checks do you run for nursing home employees?

Our standard nursing home screening package includes OIG and SAM exclusion checks, Nursys license verification (for nurses), state criminal background checks, national criminal database searches, sex offender registry checks, and county-level criminal searches where required by state law.

How fast do you return results?

Most screenings return results within 24-48 hours. OIG/SAM checks and license verifications are typically instant. Criminal background checks vary by jurisdiction, but our national database searches return same-day while county-level checks typically complete within 48 hours.

Do you handle ongoing monthly OIG/SAM re-screening?

Yes. CMS requires that facilities regularly screen their workforce against the OIG exclusion list and SAM database. We run monthly re-screens of your entire active roster and immediately alert you if any employee appears on an exclusion list so you can take action before it becomes a compliance violation.

Can you process background checks in bulk for large hiring events?

Absolutely. Our batch processing feature lets you upload multiple candidates at once for simultaneous screening. This is especially useful for facilities onboarding seasonal staff, opening new wings, or conducting annual re-screening of their full workforce.

What happens if a background check returns a concerning result?

We provide detailed findings with context and classification so your team can make informed decisions. For exclusion list hits, we provide immediate notification with guidance on required next steps. We also help facilities develop adjudication policies that are consistent, fair, and legally defensible.

How do you keep our screening records audit-ready?

Every screening result is stored in our centralized platform with timestamps, source documentation, and a complete audit trail. When surveyors or auditors request background check records, you can generate comprehensive reports in seconds rather than hours of digging through files.
