Customizing Vendor Credentialing & Screening for Acute Care Facilities

Customizing Vendor Credentialing & Screening for Acute Care Facilities | Mobile Health

In your acute care environment, every person who walks through your doors, from internal staff to third-party vendors, must meet the highest health and safety standards. By combining thorough employee screening, targeted pre-employment screening, and comprehensive occupational health services, you can build a credentialing program that protects patients, staff, and your reputation, all while streamlining administrative tasks.

Why Your Facility Needs a Credentialing Program

As an acute care employer, you rely on a whole range of outside professionals, including equipment technicians, supply delivery drivers, and clinical trainers, to keep operations running smoothly. Without employee screening, you risk introducing infection, compliance gaps, and safety hazards to your acute care organization. 

Pre-employment screening for every external representative makes sure that you never face last-minute paperwork delays or regulatory holds. When you integrate these measures into your occupational health program, you reinforce your commitment to patient safety and operational excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between pre-employment screening and ongoing employee screening?

Pre-employment screening happens before anyone gains access to your facility, covering initial medical exams, immunization checks, and background reviews. Employee screening continues throughout employment, with annual physicals, booster shots, and drug tests, to keep employees compliant and healthy.

Can we credential multiple vendors at once?

Absolutely. Our on-site teams handle high-volume employee screening and medical exams simultaneously, delivering quick turnarounds for your entire vendor roster. If your vendors are geographically diverse, you can leverage our 6,500 nationwide clinic network for required exams, or as a backup to anyone who missed an on-site screening.

Next Steps for Your Organization

By bringing together employee screening, occupational health services, and pre-employment screening in a single, streamlined workflow, your acute care facility can eliminate bottlenecks, improve employee and patient safety, and maintain full compliance.
