Blu Med loves to celebrate wins, big and small, and today we’re so excited that we’re joint commission certified!
Being Joint Commission certification is a prestigious qualification that provides continuity of standard practice since hospitals are held to the same standards in quality staffing as the staffing agencies themselves. By becoming certified, staffing agencies are collectively raising the bar in supplemental staffing and the healthcare industry as a whole. To achieve quality, integrity and credibility are essential.
Joint Commission performance standards
The Joint Commission develops comprehensive performance standards for health care organizations and programs to accomplish their goals, including quality of patient care, adherence to medication safety standards, infection control procedures, and patient rights. Performance standards developed by the Joint Commission “focus on important patient, individual, or resident care and organization functions that are essential to providing safe, high-quality care.”
The development of performance standards is a vital and complex process, and the Joint Commission continually reviews its standards as new scientific research becomes available. The Joint Commission currently develops standards with the help of health care experts, government programs such as Medicare, and scientific research.
Why does accreditation matter?
At the heart of Joint Commission accreditation is a single goal: that each patient receives safe, high-quality health care treatment and services. Accreditation by the Joint Commission is a recognition that sets an organization apart and indicates that they utilize the highest standards in health care. Clients, patients, and their families can be confident they receive high-quality treatment when seeking care from a Joint Commission-accredited organization or program.
Why Blu Med meets the standard
We know that we are a medical staffing company at the end of the day. But we are so much more of a customer service center and the hub of our traveler community. The Blu Medstaff team heartily believes that the core of good healthcare is powered by passionate, driven, and committed individuals. Human connection is essential, and we aim to provide personal touches for every traveler from day one so that they can provide the best care for every patient. We won’t send anyone anywhere that we wouldn’t place the care of our loved ones ourselves. We do our research, but Blu Med also welcomes feedback on traveler experience and prides itself on the transparency between the teams we work with. If we can make it better, faster, smoother— we will.
