Axis Healthcare Staffing Earns National Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval
May 12, 2008
Dayton, OH, May 12, 2008– Axis Healthcare Staffing has achieved the Gold Seal of Approval™ for health care staffing services from The Joint Commission. The company underwent an announced, on-site review of its compliance with national standards addressing how staffing firms determine the qualifications and competency of their staff, how they place their staff, and how they monitor staff’s performance.
“Health care organizations that contract with Axis can look to this certification as an assurance that Axis demonstrates a commitment to providing and continuously improving quality services,” says Michele Sacco, M.S., executive director, Health Care Staffing Services Certification, Joint Commission.
The ongoing shortages of nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals have forced health care organizations to increasingly fill positions with temporary workers through contractual arrangements with staffing firms. The Joint Commission’s certification program, launched in October 2004, offers an independent, comprehensive evaluation of a staffing firm's abilities to provide competent staffing services.
“Certification recognizes our dedication to placing healthcare staff that are qualified to provide safe, high-quality care to patients,” says Stacey Stanley, CEO of Axis Healthcare Staffing. “We’re proud to receive the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™.”
