Importance of screening for the healthcare sector
With almost one and a half million caregivers and healthcare workers and millions of citizens who depend on their expertise and support on a daily basis, the healthcare sector plays an important role in our society. It is not for nothing that the duty to verify has been given a prominent place in the Healthcare Quality, Complaints and Disputes Act (Wkkgz).
In order to be able to guarantee this continuously, many healthcare institutions are starting with pre-employment screening. This involves screening the applicant prior to the start of employment by, for example, checking references, education or diploma. In addition, the demand for screening is increasing rapidly due to legislation and accreditations.
