To me, it almost seems that we just got the Joint Commission Certification certificate framed, and here it is, time to start preparing for our second survey.

Many nurses are aware of the importance of hospitals maintaining their Joint Commission accreditation, but how many nurses don’t understand what function a Joint Commission certified label does for an agency.

In plain and simple English, it helps you keep your job! In 2008, most hospital contracts up for renewal came with a statement saying Only Joint Commission Certified agencies will continue to be used, essentially making it mandatory for any staffing agency wanting to stay in business to secure the GOLD SEAL.

Westways Staffing Services’ internal employees, branch managers, and staffing coordinators worked long and hard to pass our first survey. I have no doubt we will pass this year too, BUT not without the help of ALL OUR ACTIVE NURSES.

Please, if you receive a notice that something is missing from your personnel file, get it to your branch office ASAP. Ninety percent of our survey has to do with the auditing of our nurses’ files.

As in our first survey, some of you may be contacted and asked to speak with the Joint Commission representative while they are onsite. Please know how much we appreciate how well all of our nurses represent Westways Staffing Services, Inc.

Here we go again…just like the USA athletes, we are going for the GOLD! – Donna Couturié, Director of Clinical Operations
