An Advanced Onboarding and Compliance System for Screening Nurses
Healthcare facilities require skilled and certified staff to deliver high-quality patient care. A comprehensive screening and validation process reinforces your hiring decisions.
Find the Right Candidates With Detailed Healthcare Background Screening
Thorough screening and background checks allow facilities to evaluate clinicians’ qualifications, work history, health status, credentials, and any history of misconduct or criminal records. Establishing and maintaining a thorough screening process is essential to facilities in the healthcare industry.
Onboarding contingent staff without proper screening can impact compliance and lead to liability issues. Comprehensive employment background checks help you identify prospective candidates with the experience you need to deliver quality care services.
Expedient VMS simplifies the screening process with our advanced workforce management system. We have decades of experience in the healthcare field and have applied our expertise to build a software platform that unites candidates, vendors, and facilities. Our professionals understand the challenges healthcare organizations face when sourcing talent. We’ve built a platform to streamline and centralize the process. Our technology consolidates data across departments to optimize communication and create an inclusive environment for all parties.
How Our Nurse Background Checks Benefit Your Facility
Employment verification is an involved yet vital step in the staffing process. The more detailed your pre-employment evaluation, the better—when you have a complete understanding of potential hires, it’s easier to fill your ranks with professionals with the skills to uphold your reputation and quality of service. When you carry out a thorough background screening, you protect patients and team members from potential theft, abuse, and neglect.
Expedient VMS offers industry-standard background-checking services. Our streamlined workflow centralizes data and ensures facilities have access to the information they need to source, interview, and onboard new clinicians. Our detailed processes help you:

What to Expect From Our Comprehensive Background Screening Services
Expedient VMS uses our robust vendor management system to ensure candidates are reliable and credentialed. Our profile-matching and performance rating tools reduce the time you spend hiring and help you make more informed staffing decisions.
We engage with the following databases to help you build a capable workforce:
The Federation of American Physicians and Scientists (FACIS III) – The FACIS III check is a comprehensive background screening process used to verify medical professionals’ qualifications and disciplinary history. This includes thoroughly reviewing state licensure boards, court records, medical education verification, and professional references. FACIS III is an essential component of the nurse background check process as it helps healthcare facilities identify any potential red flags before hiring a nurse or other medical professional.
Office of Inspector General (OIG) – The OIG list contains the names of individuals excluded from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal healthcare programs due to fraud or other violations. Verifying potential clinicians are not listed on this database is essential for protecting patient safety within healthcare facilities.
System for Award Management – Healthcare organizations use the SAM system to ensure that potential hires do not have any past issues related to government contracts or grants. This information can help determine whether a candidate has been involved in any unethical activities in the past that could affect their ability to provide quality care.
National Sex Offender Registry (NSO) – This registry contains the names of individuals who have been convicted of sexual offenses and can help protect both patients and staff members against any inappropriate behaviors by ensuring that only qualified candidates are hired into positions within the facility setting.
Our background screening process includes:
Credential Verification
Clinicians should be qualified to promote health and safety at your healthcare organization. Expedient VMS ensures candidates are prepared for duty by verifying their degrees, licenses, certifications, and work experience. Our evaluations yield performance details and confirm clinicians’ educational backgrounds.
Criminal Background Checks
Expedient VMS screens clinicians for criminal history to verify their eligibility for nursing positions. Our evaluations are extensive and include a local, jurisdictional, and national search. We also run name checks against registries to alert employers if a candidate is a registered sex offender. Our team provides all the details your facility needs to protect at-risk populations like children and older adults.
Healthcare-Specific Screening
Our Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) check searches more than 800 sources across the nation for clinicians who have received disciplinary action. A comprehensive FACIS search prevents you from hiring candidates who may cause compliance or malpractice issues. We also validate OIG, EPLS, SAMS, MediCal, and other exclusions lists.
