Equifax Launches Healthcare Report™ Credential ID to Streamline Provider Onboarding
Equifax has introduced the Healthcare Report™ Credential ID, an automated solution aimed at streamlining healthcare provider onboarding by verifying professional licenses and certifications. The tool is designed to reduce administrative burdens associated with manual verification processes, which can delay hiring in a sector facing significant staffing shortages. With over 106,000 physicians and 267,000 registered nurses projected to be short by 2027, the solution aims to accelerate onboarding of qualified professionals. The Healthcare Report Credential ID provides primary source verification data governed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including license type, status, expiration date, and identity checks. It is part of a broader suite of Equifax tools for employment verifications and background screening. The solution supports fraud detection by cross-referencing applicant-provided information with Equifax's database. Equifax Workforce Solutions highlights the growing demand in healthcare staffing as a key driver behind this innovation, aiming to help hospitals ensure timely access to qualified professionals while maintaining high-quality patient care standards.
