5 Steps to Caregiver Background Checks

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Individuals responsible for conducting background checks on employees and contractors in DQA-regulated facilities.

This 3-hour workshop covers these questions:

  • Determine Covered Providers (Is my entity covered?)
  • Identify Covered Individuals (Who is considered a “caregiver”)?
  • Evaluate Background Information Disclosure (BID) Responses (What about convictions, charges or findings disclosed on a BID?)
  • Complete a Caregiver Background Check (How do I complete the Department of Justice (DOJ) process? What do I receive in return?)
  • Evaluate Background Check Responses (How do I read a criminal history? How do I read a statute? What about an IBIS letter with a finding?)
  • Take Appropriate Action (Understand the importance of documentation, responsibilities within the rehabilitation review process, etc.)

Also included are answers to questions that are frequently asked of DQA as well as tips for supporting the caregiver background check process. The workshops are facilitated by experienced CCDET instructors and attended by DQA subject matter experts.
