Melville, NY – November 13, 2023 – Phaxis, a nationwide workforce solutions provider, has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Health Care Staffing Services Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a healthcare organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Healthcare staffing firms place temporary staff in organizations that direct or provide patient care. Health Care Staffing Services Certification demonstrates Phaxis’ efforts to address how the qualifications and competencies of staff are determined, the placement of staff and how their performance is monitored.
Phaxis underwent a rigorous review on November 8, 2023. During the review, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with related certification standards including program management, supporting self-management, and delivering and facilitating clinical care. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with healthcare experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
