Professional Standards for Anesthesia Staffing
Anesthesia staffing depends on trust: confidence in how opportunities are represented, how information is handled and how commitments are communicated.
Edgeford Healthcare is an active member of the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations, NALTO. Our membership reflects our commitment to ethical business practices and professional standards in locum tenens staffing.
We bring that commitment to our relationships with healthcare facilities, Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and CAAs.

What Our NALTO Membership Means
NALTO is a professional association for locum tenens staffing organizations. Its Code of Ethics establishes expectations for honesty, professionalism and integrity in relationships among staffing companies, physicians and healthcare facilities.
The association also maintains an Ethics Committee and a formal process for reviewing reported violations.
For Edgeford, membership reinforces a straightforward responsibility: communicate clearly, protect confidential information and honor the commitments we make.
For Healthcare Facilities
When coverage needs are urgent, clear communication matters.
Our commitment is to help your team understand the proposed coverage, the clinician’s relevant qualifications, the assignment requirements and the agreed responsibilities. Questions and unresolved details should be addressed before commitments are made.
NALTO’s published ethical standards provide an additional reference point for the professional conduct you should expect from a staffing partner.
For Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and CAAs
You should understand an opportunity before agreeing to pursue it—and know where your information is being shared.
NALTO’s Code addresses permission before presenting a physician’s CV, disclosure of relevant information and confidentiality. Edgeford applies these principles in our work with Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and CAAs.
Our approach centers on informed decisions, clear assignment terms and respectful representation.
How We Put These Principles Into Practice
Your permission comes before representation.
We obtain a clinician’s agreement to be considered for a specific opportunity before presenting their CV to that facility.
Assignment details are put in writing.
Before an assignment is accepted, we document the agreed location, schedule, clinical responsibilities and engagement terms. Outstanding questions are identified and addressed.
Confidential information is handled responsibly.
We limit access to clinician information and confidential facility details to authorized purposes, including evaluating and coordinating assignments.
Changes are communicated clearly.
When material assignment details change, our team works with the affected parties to clarify the implications and document agreed revisions.
These commitments guide how we support facilities arranging anesthesia coverage and clinicians evaluating their next assignment.
