Edge Information Management,
Inc. Announces New Electronic
Fingerprint Partnership with
Daon Trusted Identity
Services
By partnering with Daon
Trusted Identity Services, Edge has
increased their
electronic fingerprint network to over
200 locations in
Florida.
MELBOURNE, FL --Edge Information
Management, Inc.
(Edge), a prominent provider of
employment screening
services, has announced today their
partnership with Daon
Trusted Identity Services (DTIS), a
leader in electronic
fingerprint captures.
With this new partnership, Edge has
increased their network
of LiveScan fingerprint locations to
over 200 in the state
of Florida, allowing their health care
clients, within the
state, easy and convenient access to
multiple sites. Since
2010, when the new electronic
fingerprint law was passed in
Florida for the health care industry,
Edge has been
diligently working to ensure the initial
scheduling process
for applicants is quick and easy, and
that their electronic
fingerprint sites are conveniently
located. DTIS is an FBI
and FDLE approved LiveScan vendor, and
brings 80 Florida
locations (and counting) into the Edge
Preferred Network of
collection sites.
Joe Langford, President of Edge,
commented, "We are very
pleased to add Daon Trusted Identity
Services (DTIS) as a
partner in our preferred network of
LiveSan providers. This
partnership comes at a time when many of
our clients were
asking for locations that allow for
same-day collections.
DTIS has been very responsive and
intentional in providing
the types of services needed for Edge
clients to register,
collect and finalize the fingerprinting
process. We believe
that listening and responding to our
client's needs is a
great business rule, which ultimately
helps everyone in the
process: the applicant, the health care
facility, the
collection site, the Agency for Health
Care Administration,
and most importantly, the residents for
whom this protective
process is intended."
The Florida law pertaining to electronic
fingerprints went
into effect on August 1st, 2010. It
notably modified the
background screening and hiring process
for the health care
companies in Florida. The law outlines
that these companies
will use electronic fingerprint scans
prior to hiring a new
employee, under chapter 408, Part II,
Florida Statues (F.S.).
