Ensuring Quality Health Care Staffing
Richards Healthcare ensures the quality of our travel staff by screening each applicant with our advanced testing and certification review. All of our staff have a minimum of one year of applicable work experience, with most being advanced practitioners. We comprehensively evaluate competencies, clinical judgment and drug and health assessments. We also validate licensure and background of each staff member. Competency reviews are performed regularly on both new hires and veterans to guarantee that our standards are always met. In addition, continuing education and “skills update” seminars are aggressively promoted to ensure our staff are current on the latest procedures, medications and trends.

Our travel staff will also be an asset to your facility because we encourage them to consider themselves members of your team rather than “contract workers.” Richards’ staff members take an oath to uphold the corporate philosophy and care directives of each facility they enter. Our management staff also performs personal site visits to determine whether our staff are living up to the Richards mission, priorities and core benefits.

Financial Results
Richards Healthcare not only helps clients with staffing, but also assists in keeping costs down. Our nationwide presence gives us an extensive base of travel staff. We work within your budget to deliver the highly qualified staff you need. We also develop contracting solutions to lengthen or decrease assignments periods, helping you move temporary staff to permanent or lower your hourly rate through an extended contract.

Corporate Support
From recruiting to billing, the Richards team works to maintain a seamless flow of services. Your personal account representative will help determine your staffing requirements and provide only those healthcare professionals who match your criteria. You will save money by getting the appropriate professional in place right away. Richards Healthcare is committed to exceeding your needs by going beyond placing healthcare professionals. We want to become a valuable partner for you.


"I am nothing but pleased with Richards Healthcare's service. Their corporate office has been very responsive and their staff on site are very much a part of the hospital. They have contributed to increasing our outpatient volume, been very competent in adding a new pool therapy program and have assisted us in converting to new HCFA regulations."
