Register Third-Party Caregivers at the Kiosk and Verify Their Credentials:
A Step-by-Step Process
- Service Provider and Vendor Registration: Start by registering all service providers and vendors through the Accushield kiosk. Capture essential details such as name, company, contact information, and any additional customizable data to streamline tracking and compliance.
- Credential Verification: Verify thoroughly reviews the credentials of each registered service provider and vendor. This process includes conducting background checks, confirming liability and workers’ compensation insurance coverage, validating current immunization records, and ensuring compliance with community-specific waivers.
- Compliance Assurance: Accushield Verify ensures that all service providers and vendors meet your community’s specific credentialing requirements and policies. This verification process reduces liability and helps maintain a safe, secure environment for residents and staff.
What Is Accushield Verify?
Verify, also known as “credentialing,” is the process of verifying and assessing the qualifications and credentials of individuals or entities to ensure they meet specific standards or requirements. At Accushield, we take credentialing seriously, and our digital badge-printing kiosk is an essential tool in this process. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring that every third-party service provider and vendor entering your community has undergone thorough credentialing and complies with your community’s specific requirements and policies.
Our credentialing process covers various aspects, including:
- Clear Criminal Backgrounds: We conduct comprehensive background checks to ensure that vendors have no criminal history that could pose a risk to your community’s safety and security.
- Adequate Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance: We verify that vendors carry sufficient insurance coverage for liability and workers compensation, protecting your community from potential financial liabilities in case of accidents or incidents.
- Up-to-Date Immunization Records: Especially important in healthcare or residential settings, we ensure that vendors have current immunization records to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and safeguard the health of residents and staff.
- Signed Community-Specific Waivers: We require vendors to sign waivers tailored to your community’s unique needs and regulations, mitigating potential risks and liabilities associated with their services.
By utilizing our digital badge-printing kiosk, you can trust that every vendor entering your community has been thoroughly vetted and meets all necessary compliance criteria. This not only enhances safety and security but also provides peace of mind for residents, staff, and administrators alike.

Driver's License Sign In for Tightened Security
Bolster the safety and security of senior living residents against criminal activities. Utilizing a driver’s license scan at the kiosk simplifies registration, offering a swift and secure method of entry. This approach not only accelerates the sign-in procedure but also leverages advanced visitor management technology for precise data collection. When enabled, individuals are prompted to enter their phone number and scan the barcode on their driver’s license, instantly capturing essential information to swiftly and securely complete the sign-in process.
Name Badge Verification
Visitor badges not only enhance security and professionalism in any setting but also help establish third-party healthcare provider and vendor identity within your community. These badges are crucial for identifying vendors within a workplace and displaying pertinent information about them. This not only helps maintain compliance but also significantly streamlines workflows. If a vendor signs in without having their credentials verified and stored with Accushield, their badge will list the specific documents that are still required, ensuring transparency and security.
Get Alerted as Third-Party Service Providers Arrive
The Accushield kiosk can help you monitor third-party service providers and manage associated alerts based on who is entering the building. Distribute text and email alerts to the appropriate staff when:
- A specific third-party service provider arrives
- A service provider arrives to visit a specific resident
- A caregiver from a specific service provider arrives
- An unwanted or banned service provider tries to sign in
Photo Capture Technology
Security is an important factor for any healthcare environment. Accushield provides an automated way to capture visitor, staff, third-party caregiver, staff agency, and vendor photos at sign-in. Operators can access these visitor photos anytime on the Accushield dashboard.
When visitors sign in to the Accushield kiosk, it simply captures the photo through the camera on the front of the kiosk and instantly displays it on the dashboard.
Accushield’s visitor management system was designed for Senior Living and Nursing Homes by operators with decades of industry experience.
