Lloyd is one of a select few Staffing Franchise Services nationwide o receive JCAHO Certification after undergoing a formal evaluation process including an on-site review which encompasses scrutiny of recruitment, performance, background checks, credentialing, continuing education, overall competencies and user satisfaction.

"We are very proud that Lloyd Staffing has received JCAHO Certification," said Keith Banks, CTS, President. "As an organization, we have always self imposed high standards for Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Now our hospital clients and healthcare professionals can experience an even greater level of confidence knowing that Lloyd’s Franchises processes meet rigorous JCAHO requirements that are compatible to their own criteria for the delivery of quality patient care."

"At Lloyd, our focus has always been on performance and consistent delivery of Franchised quality staffing services" said Dr. Nancy Giordano, RN, Chief Nursing Officer of Lloyd Healthcare. JCAHO certification independently validates a staffing firm’s quality processes with regard to the provision of appropriately credentialed personnel.

The Staffing Services Certification program was launched in October 2004. According to JCAHO’s website, “The Joint Commission developed the Certification Program to meet quality oversight needs that have arisen due to the ongoing shortages of nurses and other professional personnel. These shortages force healthcare organizations to fill positions with temporary employees provided by staffing firms.”

Lloyd’s Dr. Giordano notes, “”Many of our hospital clients and other healthcare provides are familiar with the JCAHO process having lived through it themselves. Knowing that their staffing provider is held up to the same scrutiny as their own facilities offers a true comfort level.” Lloyd Staffing Franchise decided to pursue Certification to demonstrate that their healthcare professionals stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their hospital employed peers.

“We felt that confidence was a prerequisite for our clients and potential franchise Investors in selecting and maintaining a relationship with a staffing supplier. Sharing JCAHO compliance with our clients is just another example of Lloyd’s partnership and commitment to addressing optimum workforce performance” said Banks.
