On December 6, 2008, U.S. President Obama announced the three main pillars of his economic recovery plan, EHR deployment was named among these three pillars.

Their policy makers clearly realize the importance of healthcare IT for patient safety. However, according to the research commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), transferring patient information and other medical records across broad healthcare networks lags behind the IT adoption in other sectors of U.S. economy. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides stimulus grants to speed up the EMR/EHR implementation process in healthcare networks. In order to qualify to this money, a healthcare provider must show “a meaningful use” of qualified IT systems. Although the Act does not clearly define the term “a meaningful use”, practitioners interpret it as a provider’s ability to keep its EMR / EHR system up and running. These and other innovative policies suggest that healthcare providers should hire IT consultants, developers and other specialists to have all of the required IT systems put in place.

• TEAM’s method ensures that our clients will have an assigned and dedicated Account Executive (AE) to work with those who hold “ownership” for accurately and timely fulfillment of each job request received from the client.
• AE submits candidates to client who then reviews resumes and either rejects a candidate or requests interview.
• If rejected, AE will work with client to ensure further submittal match client requirements exactly.
• TEAM recruiting organization sources and qualifies candidates using thorough interview screening process.
• AE performs further qualification interview with candidates, validates their technical or professional skill sets, assesses candidate fit and either submits candidate to client or rejects candidate and notifies recruiter on how to modify search requirements for further submittal.
