The Workflow

How DPHC would support a prime.

A resume keyword match and a phone screen cannot tell a prime whether a nurse can hold a neuro floor. DPHC's operating model puts clinical review ahead of submission, and sources against a validated requirement rather than a speculative bench. Four stages, from intake to onboarding.

1

Requirement intake

Review the facility, specialty, shift, headcount, start date, credentialing timeline, wage determination, and prime-specific requirements.

2

Local sourcing

Recruit locally licensed W-2 candidates against the validated requirement rather than maintaining an unsupported speculative bench.

3

Clinical screening

Use MSN-led review of specialty experience, acuity exposure, clinical judgment, communication, certifications, and assignment readiness.

4

Employment and onboarding support

Coordinate W-2 employment, applicable payroll requirements, credential tracking, prime onboarding, and VA credentialing support according to the awarded requirement.

MSN Instructor-led candidate review
The Screen

Vetted by clinicians, not recruiters.

DPHC's screening model requires clinical review before a candidate is submitted to a prime. The review is designed to evaluate practical unit readiness in addition to resume qualifications and license status.

DPHC's screening model requires each candidate to be evaluated by MSN-credentialed clinical instructors against the acuity-specific competencies of the unit in question.

Clinical competency and acuity review

Acuity-specific evaluation led by MSN-credentialed clinical instructors with charge-nurse operational experience.

License and certification verification

NURSYS and OIG exclusion checks, plus certification tracking such as BLS, ACLS, TNCC, PALS, NRP, AWHONN, and CPI.

Communication and professional-readiness review

Structured review of clinical judgment, handoff and escalation communication, and assignment readiness.

Credentialing and onboarding readiness

The planned onboarding workflow accounts for applicable federal screening, credentialing, wage-determination, and employment requirements. It runs alongside clinical screening rather than inside it.

The Model

Locally licensed. W-2 only. Designed for continuity.

DPHC's model does not use travel stipends, housing packages, or rotating travel assignments. Selected clinicians would be employed by DPHC as W-2 employees for the applicable staffing requirement. The model is intended to support assignment continuity while maintaining clear employer responsibility for payroll taxes and worker classification.

a

Continuity over churn

Local recruiting is intended to support longer-term assignment continuity and reduce repeated travel-clinician rotations. Actual retention and backfill performance will depend on the requirement, labor market, compensation, facility conditions, and award structure.

b

Employer responsibility

The planned W-2 payroll workflow is designed to account for applicable wage determinations, health-and-welfare fringe requirements, payroll taxes, and worker classification. Employment and payroll compliance is handled as its own workflow, separate from clinical screening.

Leadership and Key Personnel

Veteran-led. Clinician-governed.

Ownership and operations sit with a service-disabled veteran. Clinical standards sit with MSN-credentialed nurse leaders. Neither reports through the other's lane.

DPHC is a new federal market entrant. Its current qualifications are grounded in SBA certification, its planned operating controls, and the relevant professional experience of its key personnel. The biographies below describe individual professional experience, not DPHC corporate performance.
