Healthcare Consultants Pharmacy Staffing is Awarded JCAHO Healthcare
Staffing Services Certification
HCC has achieved the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health
Care Organization's (JCAHO) Certification for Health Care Staffing
Services. The JCAHO Gold Seal of Approval recognizes our commitment
to provide qualified and competent healthcare professionals
who deliver high quality patient care.
HCC
is one of a select group of staffing companies to receive the
Certification. This was earned after the company underwent a
formal evaluation process. The process included an on-site review
of policies and procedures in all areas -- recruitment, background
checks, credentialing, performance, continuing education, and
overall competencies. User satisfaction was evaluated as well.
"Health Care organizations that contract with HCC can look to
this certification as an assurance that HCC demonstrates a commitment
to providing and continuously improving quality services," says
Michele Sacco, executive director, Health Care Staffing Services Certification,
Joint Commission.
"Most hospitals are familiar with the JCAHO process having experienced
it first-hand themselves", says HCC President Bob Miller. "Knowing
that their pharmacy staffing company is held to the same quality standards
as they are gives them a greater level of confidence in the agency."
"Our pharmacists will feel more confident working with us,"
says Miller. "They now have documented reassurance that they
are working with a company committed to on-going safety and quality
care."
The Joint Commission certification program was launched in October
2004 to offer an independent, comprehensive evaluation of a staffing
firm's abilities to provide competent staffing services. Its goal
is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided
to the public. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint
Commission is the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and
accrediting body in health care.
