Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Fingerprint-based criminal background check under the Health Care Worker Background Check Act; staff who refuse it may have no contact with participants (89 Ill. Adm. Code 240.1520(o); 225 ILCS 46/33)
  • Pre-service and in-service training for in-home and adult day service staff (89 Ill. Adm. Code 240.1535, 240.1555)
  • Hire and separation dates entered in the Health Care Worker Registry within 30 days, and employment verified there at least annually (225 ILCS 46/33(i); 77 Ill. Adm. Code 955.145)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
