CompHealth Division Receives Joint Commission Certification »

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) October 27, 2011 CompHealth’s advanced practice and laboratory staffing division received official recognition from The Joint Commission for achieving Health Care Staffing Services (HCSS) Certification. The Commission confirmed certification on Oct. 7, 2011 after conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the division’s ability to provide qualified and competent staffing services. The achievement further attests to CompHealth’s customers, staff and other stakeholders that it is meeting the healthcare quality and safety standards it is committed to.

“The Joint Commission certification process is a large undertaking and time commitment that we dedicated ourselves to almost two years ago,” explains Tyler Black, vice president of advance practice and laboratory staffing for Salt Lake City-based CompHealth, a CHG Healthcare Services company. “We finished the survey with 100 percent compliance on all of The Joint Commission standards, and we had nothing but positive feedback from the surveyor.”

The Joint Commission reviewed the division’s ability to provide competent staffing services and evaluated its performance, continuing education and training, and placement criteria. Other evaluation standards pertained to leadership, human resources management, performance measurement and improvement and information management. The division was also required to adopt a set of standardized performance measures that it will be evaluated on during future recertification reviews.

CompHealth’s advanced practice and laboratory staffing division will be included in The Joint Commissions directory of certified organizations, accessible from The Joint Commission’s website: http://www.jointcommission.org. It is the second division within CompHealth to receive The Joint Commission Certification. CompHealth’s rehab and respiratory therapy staffing division in Grand Rapids, MI previously received certification as well.

“Joint Commission certification will further enhance our staff recruitment and development efforts, especially considering the growth we are seeing in both advanced practice and travel laboratory utilization,” explains Mr. Black. “It not only demonstrates CompHealth’s high service standards, but also positions us as a leader in the healthcare staffing market.”
