BOCA RATON, Florida - August 27, 2021 -- Accountable Healthcare Staffing has once again earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Health Care Staffing Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

They are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help health care organizations measure, assess and improve performance. The surveyors also conducted onsite observations and interviews of Accountable Healthcare Staffing Leadership Team members.

“As a private accreditor, The Joint Commission surveys health care organizations to protect the public by identifying deficiencies in care and working with those organizations to correct them as quickly and sustainably as possible,” says Mark Pelletier, RN, MS, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. “We commend Accountable Healthcare Staffing for its continuous quality improvement efforts in patient safety and quality of care.”
