Introduction

QuadraBay is an official Primary Source Verification Provider for the National Health Regulatory Authority, Bahrain. If you’re planning to work in Bahrain’s healthcare industry, a Primary Source Verification Report is a mandatory requirement. Without it, you will not be able to get your healthcare license to practice. 

But what exactly is Primary Source Verification and why is it so important in the healthcare sector? Read below to find out more. 

Primary Source Verification (PSV) is a process used in the healthcare industry to confirm the accuracy of credentials and qualifications. Verification of training, license, certification, employment history and other relevant information is done through the primary source, such as the issuing body, education institutions or other organizations. 

For example, contacting the applicant's medical school to confirm that the information provided on the degree is correct. The role of Primary Source Verification in healthcare is crucial. It ensures that the patients are in good hands and that the healthcare professionals have appropriate qualifications and experience. 

Let's look more closely at the importance of Primary Source Verification in the field of healthcare.

● Helps Reduce MalPractice Risk:

According to the Personal Injury Centre, 195,000 patients die in hospitals each year because of preventable mistakes. Conducting Primary Source Verification before hiring healthcare professionals can reduce the risk of malpractice and ensure the safety of patients. 

● High-Quality Care for Patients:

Healthcare organizations can guarantee high-quality care for patients and maintain trust by verifying credentials, license and work experience of healthcare providers. 

It also provides people with the confidence that healthcare professionals possess the necessary skills and knowledge to provide successful medical care. 

● Minimize Delays and Errors:

Conducting an effective Primary Source Verification early in the hiring process can minimize the need for re-verification in the future.

● Protection Against Fraudulent Credentials:

Some individuals may get their degrees through illegal methods. They might get fraudulent degrees, certifications, licenses or other documents. With Primary Source Verification, healthcare organizations can protect themselves from individuals who use false credentials. 

Primary Source Verification is a necessary step when hiring healthcare professionals. It provides patients with trust and confidence while also making sure that credentials and qualifications of individuals are accurate.
