The Joint Commission HCSS Certification
Valorem Health holds The Joint Commission Health Care Staffing Services (HCSS) Certification, since 2022. The certification evaluates a staffing firm against standards for how it screens, credentials and manages the clinicians it places, so a hospital can treat it as an independent signal when it chooses a vendor.
Ask your recruiter for the certification letter and effective dates for your vendor file.
