As we learned last week in Irving, Texas, first responders, trauma teams, hospitals and communities could rise to the occasion as they quickly attended to the injured in the horrible highway bus accident.

Our region is blessed with caring first responders, emergency physicians, trauma unit teams and support personnel. Here at GroupOne, it is our job to assist healthcare providers find the right people for such occasions. Like the heroic trauma teams in Boston, these dedicated employees are prepared for the unexpected emergence of tragedy. At this very moment, patients are alive because they received immediate treatment from brave and competent medical emergency teams.

Through the sadness of these tragedies, we find a sense of pride with the tireless efforts to bravely respond. This inspires us at GroupOne to do the best possible job we can for our clients. When tragedy emerges, we all must be dependent on the workers of our crucial emergency teams.

The staff of the GroupOne extends sympathies and prayers for the victims and its deep gratitude to the many heroes in Boston.

The federal compliance check package has a multi-pronged attack starting with the GSA Excluded Parties List System search. The OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities database, providing information to healthcare entities about those individuals excluded from participation in Medicare and Medicaid, will also be checked. The package concludes with a check of the U.S. Treasury Department Terrorist List and the Office of Foreign Assets Control List (OFAC), which screens applicants against the government “Terrorist List.” If applicable to your state, we will run additional searches to include DADS, DEA, state nurse registries, misconduct list, nurse aide registries and nursing home administrator registries.
