Healthcare organizations face increasing regulatory scrutiny and heightened hiring risk, making comprehensive background screening more critical than ever. This session will help attendees evaluate whether their current screening programs are truly meeting compliance requirements and industry best practices—or if gaps exist that could expose their organization to risk.

Participants will explore why robust background screening matters, including current statistics related to workplace violence and crime, and the role of key regulators such as the EEOC, FTC, and CFPB. The session will also review required screening forms and recent updates to state laws, including disclosure and authorization requirements, summaries of rights, state-specific forms, and adverse action procedures.

In addition, this session will examine best practices specific to healthcare background checks and emerging trends shaping the future of employment screening. Topics will include changes in drug testing related to THC, the use of artificial intelligence and the rise of résumé fraud, pay equity laws restricting salary history inquiries, and evolving Fair Chance, Ban the Box, and Clean Slate legislation.

The goal of this session is to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to ask the right questions of consumer reporting agencies, understand compliance procedures, and stay ahead of trends impacting healthcare hiring. Ultimately, attendees will gain practical insights to help reduce hiring risk and strengthen screening programs within their organizations.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Identify gaps in your current healthcare background screening program
• Understand key compliance requirements and recent regulatory updates
• Evaluate consumer reporting agencies and their screening practices
