Elite Medical Staffing

What Elite Medical Staffing does

Elite Medical Staffing, LLC is a privately held healthcare staffing agency founded in 1994 and headquartered in Lake Mary, Florida, operating as A Quality Staffing LLC (DBA Elite Medical Staffing). The company places W-2-employed nurses (RNs, LPNs/LVNs, CNAs) and allied health professionals (physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapists) in per diem, travel (13-week), contract, and interim leadership roles across 19 U.S. states. Its primary customer segment is skilled nursing and post-acute care facilities, with secondary exposure to hospitals, home health agencies, ICF/IID services, behavioral health, and children & family programs. Differentiators include the W-2 employment model (mitigating 1099 misclassification risk), 30+ years of operating history, and a clinician-facing mobile application on iOS and Android.

The company's technology stack centers on a cloud-based scheduling platform paired with mobile apps that enable clinicians to browse shifts with transparent pay details, set availability, clock in/out, and confirm shifts instantly, while facility clients gain visibility into scheduled coverage. Pricing is usage-based and quote-driven: facilities pay per shift or per travel contract, while clinicians receive hourly rates ranging from $18-$65 depending on role, location, and specialty, plus benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)) and early wage access via Rain. Go-to-market combines direct sales account managers with weekly client check-ins and a self-serve job board at jobs.elitemedicalstaffing.com. Supporting integrations include Equifax Work Number for employment verification, ADP for wage garnishments, Google Maps API for location-based shift search, and Matrix EMR for clinical documentation at client sites.

Elite Medical Staffing is independently owned with no disclosed venture capital, private equity investment, or institutional funding rounds, suggesting organic growth over 30+ years. Management includes CEO Lisa Bacciarini and President/CEO Dale Kirry. The company employs 501-1,000 staff and maintains regional offices in Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma, and Central regions. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed, and the company holds no patents, awards, or formal certifications beyond self-declared HIPAA-related privacy practices.
