The Chesapeake Registry Program, an affiliate of The Maryland Hospital Association’s shared services subsidiary PRIME, was developed in response to member concerns regarding the quality and availability of supplemental staff.
The program is provided as a service to participating institutions in Maryland, Washington D.C., and Delaware. This cooperative purchasing program uses the volume of participating institutions supplemental staffing needs to develop favorable contracts and increase the availability of staff while enhancing the quality of the process.
As we begin 2009, we are looking forward to another successful year with our agencies.
Participation in the Per Diem Nursing Program requires Maryland and/or DC licensure for nurse staffing agencies to staff Hospitals. Therefore, the RFP submission requires a copy of your agency's valid license.
