With access to confidential, sensitive, patient information and often in contact with vulnerable populations, employees in the medical field must be carefully screened. Even those who do not directly interact with patients or their records may deal with proprietary research or other medical data. Thorough background screenings for these critical positions can help employers maintain a conscientious, trustworthy, competent workforce and help to ensure regulatory compliance.

For example, criminal and sex offender records are a necessary review for those in direct contact with patients, while education and certification checks are particularly important for any care providers.
