Within healthcare, we measure everything.
We like benchmarks, we like standardization,
we like to know evidence-based practice.
Patient outcomes obviously are built based on certain interventions,
and I think this has provided really a platform for that standardization
and really a platform for all of us within the staffing world
to continue to elevate, really elevate our practices
and elevate the quality of the clinicians we're providing to our partner facilities.

I think this is just a validation to have somebody that's not you come in,
and really just put a second set of eyes on your processes
and also provide feedback to say,
"Here's how you continue to elevate."
So I think that, one, is just that validation of your processes,
and I think the second component is,
it truly is an investment,
and saying that we want to have quality processes,
we want outcomes to be
the highest level of outcome that we can achieve.

I think for us, it's just--
it is, it's that peace of mind,
and it's also letting our clients know that we work with our partners.
Like we're as committed to excellence in patient care as they are.

It is that baseline for being able to staff.
We're starting to see where the organizations
also will say, "It looks like you're due for survey."
Survey always says that your certificate says,
customarily valid for up to 24 months.
They'll say, "It looks like you're due for survey again.
Please make sure you give us a copy of your updated certificate."
To me, that's just something that has really been a shift,
and it's, again, driving the quality,
and it's driving the minimum expectations as well
for what we expect when we're sending clinicians in
to provide care within somebody else's facility.
