Let’s put together why Health Care Service Pools are required to go through AHCA Background Screening?
“Health care services pool” means any person, firm, corporation, partnership, or association engaged for hire in the business of providing temporary employment in health care facilities, residential facilities, and agencies for licensed, certified, or trained health care personnel including, without limitation, nursing assistants, nurses’ aides, and orderlies. However, the term does not include nursing registries, a facility licensed under this chapter or chapter 429, a health care services pool established within a health care facility to provide services only within the confines of such facility, or any individual contractor directly providing temporary services to a health care facility without use or benefit of a contracting agent.
The licensing of Health care services pools is regulated by AHCA, Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration.
The Level 2 Background Check for Health care services pools is required by AHCA and is based on F.S. 400.980. Statute says that the agency shall require level 2 background screening for personnel as required in s. 408.809(1)(e) pursuant to chapter 435 and s. 408.809.
“Health care services pool personnel” means persons who are employed by or under contract with an Health care services pool, and it includes but not limited to Owner, Administrator, Financial Officer, Employees and Contractors Providing Personal Care or Services, Employees that have access to client property, funds or living areas
