Clinical One is Awarded Company-Wide JCAHO Health Care Staffing Services Certification

Posted on: Tuesday, 13 June 2006, 12:01 CDT

WAKEFIELD, Mass., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Clinical One National Healthcare Professionals announced today that it has received company-wide certification by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) under its Health Care Staffing Services Certification Program.

Clinical One, a member of Vedior North America, offers travel, case management, per diem and direct hire staffing services to hospitals and healthcare facilities in need of registered nurses and allied healthcare professionals nationwide. This year's process incorporated Clinical One's per diem division into the certification process.

"Our certification demonstrates to our clients and employees that we are committed to providing and continuously improving the quality of our staffing services," said Cynthia Kinnas, Chief Operations Officer and co-founder of Clinical One. "By having undergone this rigorous evaluation, we can provide our clients with an even greater level of confidence that the processes within Clinical One have met the stringent requirements set by the Joint Commission."

The certification program offers an independent, comprehensive evaluation of a staffing firm's abilities to provide quality staffing services. Key processes such as the verification of credentials and competencies of health care staff are scrutinized. Standards address topics such as leadership, human resources management, performance measurement and improvement, and information management. JCAHO is considered to be the preeminent standard setting and accrediting body in health care. Certification acknowledges the firm's compliance with the Joint Commission's national set of consensus-based standards.

Ms. Kinnas concluded, "Clinical One sees itself as a partner to its clients in providing quality and safe patient care, and is committed to continually improving its services and providing healthcare staffing solutions that meet the highest standards. Ultimately, our certification will support our clients in their efforts to achieve and maintain their own accreditation and quality standards."
