GroupOne Services endorsed by Texas Hospital Association

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 2, 2009 -- IRVING, TX – GroupOne Services, Inc. announced today it had received the endorsement of the Texas Hospital Association (THA) following the evaluation of HealthSHARE, a subsidiary of THA. THA-endorsed companies undergo an extensive process to determine if services provided are a benefit to Texas hospitals. Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, GroupOne provides background screening services for hospitals and healthcare providers.

“Earning the right to use the THA-endorsed company logo is no easy achievement,” said Eric Scott, vice president of GroupOne. “We’re honored to have the opportunity to carry this ‘seal of approval.’ Our mission at GroupOne has always been to assist hospitals and healthcare providers find the most dependable and safest workforce available to them. This enables us to continue moving forward in support of that mission.”

The HealthSHARE staff is the first level of evaluation for every prospective endorsed company. They conduct financial and operational studies while gathering references. Every facet of the business is scrutinized. Once potential companies have been fully studied, HealthSHARE may choose to recommend the company as a potential partner of THA. The THA Board of Trustees subsequently conducts its own study and ultimately chooses whether or not to award the company the THA-endorsed status.

“GroupOne’s partnership with THA is an advantage to clients,” said W. Stephen Love, president of GroupOne. “They can now take comfort in knowing that the services we provide are a benefit to not only their organization, but throughout the state. It’s our way of working proactively with organizations as a team to ensure quality healthcare within Texas.”

Though GroupOne has been endorsed by THA, it will continue to undergo ongoing evaluation to ensure the company maintains a rigorous standard of quality and service.

Based in Austin, the Texas Hospital Association enhances its members’ abilities to improve accessibility, quality and cost-effectiveness of health care for all Texans. One of the largest hospital associations in the country, THA represents more than 85 percent of the state’s hospitals and health care systems, which employ some 355,000 health care professionals statewide.

HealthSHARE, a wholly owned subsidiary of THA, provides needed products and services that help health care facilities avoid costs, reduce expenses and improve quality. HealthSHARE programs work together to create a positive effect on the economic status of health care in Texas.

GroupOne offers healthcare background screening services to provide a safe environment for patients and staff while reducing turnover rate and employment law actions. Since its origination, GroupOne has expanded its client base from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to nationwide.
