Medical Connections Receives Perfect Score

Medical Connections Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:MCTH), one of the nation’s fastest growing healthcare staffing companies specializing in allied health, nurse and physician staffing and recruiting services, has received a perfect score on the review of its Gold Seal of Approval™ certification for health care staffing services from The Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies more than 15,000 U.S.-based health care organizations and programs.

“We’re so proud that this Certification Follow-Up indicated we are doing exactly as we had hoped,” explained Anthony Nicolosi, President, Medical Connections. “To us, anything less than perfect is unacceptable.”

Prior to receiving the certification two years ago, Medical Connections underwent a comprehensive on-site review of its compliance with national standards that cover how staffing firms determine the qualifications and competency of their staff, how they place their staff and how they monitor the staff’s performance.

“When we initially received the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™,” added Joseph Azzata, Medical Connections’ CEO, “we felt that our entire team’s dedication to providing qualified healthcare staff to provide safe, high-quality care to patients had been recognized. That this recognition comes from an independent source means the world to all of us.”

According to The Joint Commission, the re-certification process helps organizations “continuously provide safe, high-quality care, treatment, and services by identifying opportunities for improvement.” The ongoing shortages of nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals has forced health care organizations to increasingly fill positions with temporary workers through contractual arrangements with staffing firms. The Joint Commission’s certification program, launched in October 2004, offers an independent, comprehensive evaluation of a staffing firm's abilities to provide competent staffing services.

Medical Connections expects its next re-certification review in two years.
