Healthcare Staffing Solutions for Employers

Facilities choose between contract staffing and permanent placement based on coverage duration, budget considerations, and workforce planning objectives. Each model serves different operational needs with distinct cost structures and timeline implications.

Cost analysis should compare total workforce expenses including direct compensation, benefits, recruitment overhead, and turnover replacement costs. Contract staffing provides immediate coverage with defined end dates. Permanent placement reduces dependency on contingent labor and builds stable core staffing levels. For detailed cost comparisons, review our medical staffing overview.

Facilities using contract clinical staff remain accountable for ensuring that all practitioners meet licensing, competency, and compliance requirements. Texas Nursing Services conducts Joint Commission-compliant credentialing verification and provides complete documentation files to facilities before staff begin clinical duties.

Risk Management Protocols

All contract staff carry professional liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate. Certificates of insurance are provided to facilities upon request. Workers compensation coverage is maintained for all contract employees in accordance with state requirements.

Credentialing files include primary source license verification, National Practitioner Data Bank queries, OIG/GSA exclusion screening, multi-state background checks, skills competency assessments, and professional reference verification. Files are updated per Joint Commission standards and facility-specific requirements.

Facilities maintain the right to reject any candidate based on credentialing review, interview assessment, or skills verification. We provide replacement candidates at no additional cost if placements do not meet facility expectations or performance standards.
