The Joint Commission — known as JCAHO to those who follow how healthcare quality is measured in America and around the world — gave a Gold Seal of Approval to the Execu|Search Group, a NYC-based health services placement firm.

The Execu|Search Group says it picked up this award after it chose to undergo an on-site review of its compliance with national standards addressing how staffing firms determine the qualifications and competency of their staff, how they place their staff, and how they monitor staff’s performance.
