Most hospitals and health clinics require that all people who work in their facilities undergo vendor credentialing first. Vendor credentialing involves verifying education, credentials, and qualifications as well as conducting a variety of health tests and vaccinations. There are many good reasons for your healthcare staffing company to invest in vendor credentialing for the service providers you work with: 

Minimize Your Risk

Vendor credentialing will minimize your company's overall risk. Whenever you provide a hospital or health clinic with a service provider, you are being relied upon to make sure that those workers are reliable and safe. If it turns out that your staff is not either of these things, you risk the chance that health facilities will stop sourcing their staff members from your company. If you lose customers, you will likely find it hard to stay afloat as time passes.

Credentialing your service vendors will help ensure that everyone you send to a health facility has been properly vetted and will provide your clients with top quality work that will impress them. And if your clients are impressed, they will keep coming back to you every time they have a new healthcare position to fill.

Attract Quality Talent

While you might feel like you will intimidate potential workers by requiring them to submit to vendor credentialing, but only those who are not confident in their ability to pass your testing process would feel the intimidation and think twice about applying at your staffing company. But those will a solid background and sense of achievement will be quick to prove their worth to you.

So you can expect to attract quality talent that your healthcare clients are sure to appreciate when vendor credentialing is a part of your business practices. Vendor credentialing will automatically weed out unqualified workers so you can focus your time on those qualities leads.

Create a Trustworthy Reputation

By investing time and money in vendor credentialing, you will give the healthcare facilities you're working with peace of mind in knowing that you take security and safety seriously. They'll know that whoever you send to work at their facilities is trustworthy, and, therefore, your company can expect to earn a reputation as being trustworthy. This is a great way to keep your current customers happy and to attract new clientele over time.
