Medical Solutions has just earned its fifth consecutive certification from the Joint Commission for healthcare staffing companies. By demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for health care quality and safety, Medical Solutions has earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ through the year 2012.
The Joint Commission conducted an unannounced, on-site evaluation of Medical Solutions on October 26-27, 2010. The accreditation award recognizes Medical Solutions' dedication to complying with the Joint Commission's state-of-the-art standards on a continuous basis.
To become certified, Medical Solutions has met or exceeded several key functions within the inspection process such as methods for verifying the credentials and competence of healthcare staff. Certification also includes addressing standards in leadership, human resources, performance measurement and improvement, and information management.
"Health care organizations that contract with Medical Solutions can look to this certification as an assurance that the company demonstrates a commitment to providing and continuously improving quality services," says Michele Sacco, M. S., executive director, Health Care Staffing Services Certification, Joint Commission.
"It is very validating to see that the processes that Medical Solutions has in place fit so well with the standards set up by The Joint Commission. Having the same goals is one of the reasons for our success as a company," said Chris Ahl, Director of Operations at Medical Solutions. He also added, "Going through this certification review validates the quality of the processes we have put into place to help us partner with facilities by providing them with staff to provide the best patient care possible."
Since the inception of this certification, specific to healthcare staffing companies, Medical Solutions has continued to exemplify the standards set forth by the Joint Commission. In December of 2004, Medical Solutions became one of the first travel nursing companies to become certified, or receive the "Gold Seal of Approval" under the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) or what it is better known as today, The Joint Commission.
