HireRight Health Care Sanction Monitoring (FACIS®)
All health care organizations involved in federal- and state-funded programs cannot employ or contract with any parties who appear on a sanction list. Failure to perform ongoing, effective screens on current employees and contractors could lead to fines, sanctions, and other adverse actions, such as a corporate integrity agreement (CIA) settlement with the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
To meet accreditation and certification from The Joint Commission, Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC), and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), health care organizations must perform ongoing sanction checks. Managing ongoing sanction checks through in-house staff presents multiple challenges. Limited training, turnover, and complex processes lead to inconsistent quality. Innovative organizations seek automated monitoring to achieve efficient, reliable results.
HireRight Health Care Sanction Monitoring helps organizations maintain compliance by identifying through the Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS®), on an ongoing basis, employees and contractors who have been sanctioned or excluded from participating in federal and state health care programs.
Results You Can Trust
HireRight Health Care Sanction Monitoring may return different types of adverse information. For example, a search on an individual may return sanction information from an agency or disciplinary action from a state licensing board. The report includes the source, information on the individual (name, date of birth, address, or license number), the action taken (program exclusions, license revoked, etc.), and any other information provided by the primary source.
