These, and other reasons, are why hospitals are turning to the use of traveling medical professionals. These professionals help hospital executives deal with the nursing shortage without depleting local pools, they enhance information sharing by offering new perspectives and contribute to staff morale by adding energy to departments that need the additional help. These professionals provide continuity of patient care by contracting long enough to learn your standards of healthcare delivery instead of showing up for a day or two. In addition, they provide hospital executives with the flexibility to staff toward census patterns without sacrificing valued full time employees. The scenario is ideal, but the cost? 2009-2010 NATHO independent studies show that the cost of using these traveling medical professionals are on target after factoring in full-time employee pay, overtime pay, retention costs, vacation time, insurance, other benefits, sick time and closed beds. So if this type of clinical augmentation matches your business plan, you can't afford to use just any firm. You need a dependable provider with a reputation for performance, fair business practices and a solid understanding of your needs. That's why over 3,000 facilities across the United States contact Independent Healthcare Staffing for their traveling medical professional needs.
We provide traveling Nursing and Allied Health professionals to hospitals throughout the entire United States. Our "partnering" approach to business, combined with an exceptional pool of clinical talent, enables us to master a great deal of flexibility for our client facilities. For our clients, the INDEPENDENT HEALTHCARE STAFFING experience is liberating because our clients are able to do business the way they prefer, opposed to the staffing provider limiting them.
We do not entertain potential candidates who cannot meet our screening requirements and/or who have less than one year of solid clinical experience. With the delivery of each candidate for you to consider, you will receive a detailed work and education history, clinical references by clinical managers, and a skill checklist specific to your need. Independent Healthcare Staffing skill checklists are quantified through years of experience and NOT only a self assessment; thus, providing more validated clinical information related to skill level prior to consenting to an interview.
Complete Joint Commission required medical information, verification of current state licenses/certifications/social security number trace, complete criminal background checks, drug test results, and clearing of various offender databases, clinical references, employment chronology, skills checklist and other specific documents that each client facility may require. In addition, we provide the TN Visa or Green cards for our Canadian employees.
In addition to the above, each Independent Healthcare Staffing traveler must also complete certified online tests (CEU'S) containing topics that are recommended by The Joint Commission, sign off on various policies related to their behavior and actions on client premises, Joint Commission approved abbreviations and national patient safety goals, perform age assessment skill updates, take medication tests (adult and/or pediatric), HIPAA course/test, OSHA course/test, and various other administrative paperwork to protect our clients best interests.
