Fast and accurate screening in the healthcare sector

Screening employment with a busy schedule

In more and more healthcare institutions, there is a growing awareness that screening contributes to good quality of care and more integrity. However, it is difficult to find the right form for this. Everyone knows that the healthcare sector has a high workload compared to limited (financial) resources. This presents several challenges.

HR managers focus (mainly) on finding and retaining the right healthcare workers and caregivers. When a suitable candidate presents himself, it is important that they can fill position as soon as possible. An extensive screening requires a lot of time and attention from both the candidate and the care workers and departments that supervise the screening process. It is therefore important for all parties that the screening process is completed quickly and efficiently. But how do you take care of that?

A solid screening policy offers a solution

By creating an appropriate screening policy, for example. This describes the purpose of the employment screening and the way in which it can be achieved. It clearly indicates who is responsible for which screening element, which function/role should be screened in what way and which resources are used. A screening policy is a clear document that both your healthcare institution and candidate can fall back on. The objective information provides clarity. In addition, a solid screening policy helps to comply with current (privacy) laws and regulations.
