Healthcare organizations lack reliable, comprehensive background screening processes that effectively identify violent and theft-related criminal histories in employees who work with vulnerable patients and controlled substances.

Current background checks are described as 'an illusion' - they fail to catch extensive criminal histories including violent offenses and theft charges that are publicly available through simple searches, creating dangerous security gaps in healthcare settings.
