NurseTesting Creative Solutions (NTCS), formerly known as NurseTesting Consulting Services, announces another year of 100% success with leading clients to obtain an edge on competitors by achieving Joint Commission certification. This benefit to healthcare staffing clients comes at a time when focus on hospital hiring has shifted from temporary to full-time employees and thus staying above the competition is of utmost importance.

High Point, NC (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 12, 2010 — During the 2009 calendar year, NurseTesting Creative Solutions (NTCS) continued 100% success helping healthcare staffing clients achieve Joint Commission certification. This brings the total to 32 organizations achieving certification in just two years. Achieving Joint Commission certification distinguishes organizations among the elite in the healthcare staffing industry and demonstrates their commitment to the delivery of quality services.

Chris Carrington RN, MS President, NurseTesting Creative Solutions, commented on the anxiety clients mention with starting the intricate certification process. “Many organizations preparing for Joint Commission find the process to be overwhelming and extremely time consuming, pulling key personnel from revenue generating activities for up to 12 months. NTCS partners with organizations to streamline and simplify the process, allowing them to focus on what they do best…recruit and staff.”

Many organizations preparing for Joint Commission find the process to be overwhelming and extremely time consuming, pulling key personnel from revenue generating activities for up to 12 months. NTCS partners with organizations to streamline and simplify the process, allowing them to focus on what they do best…recruit and staff.

NTCS provides on-site consulting that caters to each organization’s needs. All of their consultants are nationally experienced Nurse Executives bringing over 20 years of healthcare staffing industry experience. NTCS executives are designated as consultants of choice for Healthcare Staffing Services Certification.

The steps leading clients to Joint Commission certification includes NTCS:

·     Performing a Gap Analysis – a comprehensive evaluation of operations including recruitment, competency assessment, appropriate placement and performance evaluation to assure the delivery of quality care and compliance with Joint Commission standards
·     Developing a comprehensive consultation plan with required activities to achieve certification
·     Developing key processes, policies and documents to assure compliance with standards
·     Educating staff on the importance of Joint Commission standards and implementation of standards into day-to-day operations.
·     Implementing Performance Measurement data collection & analysis
·     Performing a Mock Survey which simulates the Joint Commission review utilizing Joint Commission evaluation tools
·     Providing ongoing support throughout the certification process.

These steps put the organization on the “fast track” to Joint Commission certification. Survey readiness can be achieved in as little as 3-4 months with NTCS.

NTCS’ “guaranteed certification” provides the organization with confidence and a sense of relief throughout the process. Charles Eales, President of Premier Healthcare Professionals, commented on his appreciation of the NTCS consultants as they led them towards receiving the reputable gold seal:

"PHP engaged the services of NurseTesting consulting in order to prepare for its Joint Commission Certification. We were absolutely delighted with the level of service and attention that we received. The consultants were extremely knowledgeable of the Joint Commission requirements and provided an invaluable amount of support prior to us gaining the Joint Commission Gold Seal of approval. PHP passed the review and did not receive any recommendations from the Joint Commission auditor on how any of our policies or procedures could be improved. I would certainly recommend NurseTesting Creative Solutions to any healthcare staffing company considering Joint Commission certification.”

The NTCS consulting team offers services beyond Joint Commission certification. NTCS offers the Clinical Oversight Program, a cost effective alternative to staffing operations, where one of their consultants serves as clinical supervisor – providing clinical expertise and risk management activities for the organization. Responsibilities of the consultant include:

·        Addressing all issues; clinical or compliance in nature
·        Interviewing/qualifying candidates within the hiring process
·        Assisting with performance evaluations of healthcare professionals
·        Interacting with state board or any appropriate licensing/certification entity
·        Coordinating performance improvement plans for Joint Commission
·        Monitoring Joint Commission standards and expectations to assist with implementation

The Clinical Oversight program keeps the organization at the forefront of both standards compliance and quality healthcare staffing.
