Berean Healthcare Staffing, a provider of temporary healthcare professionals, will implement new on-line services to add value for nurses, hospitals, and patients nationwide. Already a favorite among nurses for their unparalleled suite of on-line career planning tools, Berean Healthcare Staffing plans to launch several new internet based technology packages to enhance the patient-provider and staff-employer relationships. The first of these packages, affectionately branded Care Rewards™, is scheduled for release by the beginning of February 2003, while the remaining value added staff-employer (VASE) and vendor management services (VMS) are expected by the end of the first quarter 2003.

“Our Care Rewards™ system will provide a measurable increase in the quality of patient care by introducing an on-line reward based review process for all of our healthcare professionals,” said Darian E. Kelty, president of Berean Healthcare Staffing. “This will in turn give us the ability to adequately award those professionals who put forth the greatest effort in the care environment, while allowing us to provide hospitals with easy access to skilled and highly qualified personnel.”

A hospital official, and/or a patient, will be invited to take part in a bi-weekly review process for each Berean Healthcare Staffing healthcare professional. The bi-weekly reviews will take no more than 5 minutes to complete, but will deliver valuable insight into the quality of care and skill level of the professional reviewed. The reviews may be tracked over time to offer hospitals greater assurance that they will be provided with valuable and highly skilled healthcare professionals.

The healthcare professionals will receive Care Rewards™ points based on the scores they receive in the review process. These Care Rewards™ points, similar to what you may receive from your favorite airline or credit card company, are redeemable as donations to the professional’s favorite charity or organization. The Care Rewards™ system is available to all Berean Healthcare Staffing professionals and is accessible on-line.

In addition to the Care Rewards™ system, Berean Healthcare Staffing also provides competitive salaries, several benefits packages, and flexible 401(k) plans for its professionals.
