Atlas Search has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Health Care Staffing Services Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Health care staffing firms place temporary staff in organizations that direct or provide patient care. Health Care Staffing Services Certification demonstrates Atlas Search’s efforts to address how qualifications and competencies of staff are determined, placement of staff and how their performance is monitored.
Atlas Search underwent a rigorous onsite review. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with related certification standards including Leadership, Human Resources Management, Information Management as well as Performance Measurement and Improvement. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“Health Care Staffing Services Certification recognizes health care staffing firms committed to striving for excellence and fostering continuous improvement in patient safety and quality of care,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission. “We commend Atlas Search for using The Joint Commission certification process to reduce variation in clinical processes and to strengthen its clinical program to drive safer, higher quality and more compassionate care for individuals served.”
Founding Partner Rob Parks believes “A Joint Commission certification is not just a badge of honor, it’s a tangible demonstration of our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality healthcare workforce, ensuring patient safety is at the forefront of every decision we make, and signifying to our clients that we hold ourselves to the most rigorous standards in the industry.”
