Please note: Due to COVID-19, background checks are taking longer to process than normal. As a measure to control COVID-19's spread many courthouses have been closed, which delays access to information needed to complete some checks resulting in longer processing times.
We at ShiftMed appreciate your patience during this time and will update you throughout your background check processing.
For all Oklahoma Healthcare Professionals (CNA, LPN, RN) joining the ShiftMed team, see below for steps to complete your background check.
Background Check Steps:
Once your TB Test, Annual Physical, Identification, and Professional License credentials are all verified by ShiftMed’s credentialing team, you will then be invited to complete your Background Check.
You will see the Oklahoma Consent and Release Authorization and Oklahoma Provisional Employment Form in the 'My Documents' section of the ShiftMed app.
You must complete both of these forms in order to continue your Background Check process.
Once these forms have been completed, ShiftMed will process and verify your Background Check on the OK-SCREEN website.
If you have previously been fingerprinted and you have a satisfactory result, ShiftMed will process your Background Check and update your profile to complete your background check credential.
If you have not been fingerprinted before, ShiftMed will register you with OK-SCREEN and a member of the ShiftMed Credentialing Team will email you a copy of the registration form that you will need to use to schedule an appointment to complete the fingerprinting.
You will need to schedule your fingerprint appointment online or by calling IdentoGo directly. All of the information that you will need to schedule your appointment will be contained in the email from ShiftMed. You will need a Service Code and Determination Number.
You will need to notify ShiftMed of when this has been completed by emailing bg@shiftMed.com
Once the appointment is complete, ShiftMed will typically have access to the results within 7 - 10 business days. Your profile will be updated with the results to complete your background check credential.
Note: The ShiftMed app will notify you right away when you are available to start working.
