Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Liquidity and Going Concern [Policy Text Block]	*Liquidity and Going Concern –* During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.1 million and generated positive operating cash flow of $0.2 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had an overall shareholders deficit of $85.0 million, an aggregate of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and total liabilities of $94.6 million. Of the $1.5 million in cash, $0.1 million is held by the Company's subsidiary NovaStar Mortgage LLC ("NMLLC"). This cash is available only to pay general creditors and expenses of NMLLC. Prior to executing the Amendment with the Noteholders in August 2019 (Note 5), the Company had a significant on-going obligation to pay interest under its senior note agreements at LIBOR plus 3.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears until maturity on March 30, 2033, leading to a significant annual cash outflow. HCS has also experienced lower than anticipated cash flows in general due to increased costs and a decrease in business from certain customers. In addition, in June of 2021, two Community Service Board ("CSB") customers, one significant, notified us of their intent to terminate their contract services with HCS during the third quarter of 2021. These items have led to substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to work toward expanding HCS’s customer base by increasing revenue from existing customers, looking at methods to reduce overall operating costs, both at HCS and the corporate level, and targeting new customers that have not previously been served by HCS. As disclosed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company was successful in amending the senior note agreements to lower the interest rate and receive future credit for cash interest payments made in 2019 in exchange for the issuance of common stock and warrants. Based on the terms of the amendment, the Company is not required to make cash interest payments on the senior notes from August 2019 through March 2022, leading to significant cash savings for the Company. This amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement and waiver of interest payments through April 2022 has significantly improved our forecasted cash position. In late March 2020, HCS started experiencing a reduction in Georgia CSB customer needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This resulted in the layoff of approximately 8% of the Company’s employees. As HCS relies on providing healthcare staffing services to generate income, this has decreased our service fee income, and direct cost of services, accordingly. While the majority of these employees were rehired when customer demand returned, there have been some permanent loss of staffing opportunities based on changes to programs and services offered by CSBs. In addition, there is still concern at the Company about the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our services for the foreseeable future. The Company is also experiencing increased expenses related to corporate insurance coverage (professional and general liability commercial lines). This increase has resulted in a significant rise in costs, even with the loss of staffing headcount as noted above. HCS also experiences increased costs to provide health insurance for employees. While this expense is billed to our CSB customers, for employees staffed with them that elect coverage, the rise in cost impacts our ability to remain competitive in the market. Our historical operating results and poor cash flow suggest substantial doubt exists related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, there is still uncertainty regarding the future impact that COVID-19 will have on our business. Based on these uncertainties, there is no guarantee the Company's cash position will cover current obligations. As a result, we have not been able to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Earnings Per Share* – For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were 2.8 million and 4.4 million shares of restricted common stock, respectively.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	*Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation –* The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the period. The Company uses estimates and judgments in assessing the recoverability of its long-lived assets, impairments, and accounting for income taxes, including the determination of the timing of the establishment or release of the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset balances and reserves for uncertain tax positions. While these condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes reflect the best estimates and judgments of management at the time, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates, and the amounts could be material. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made, which were of a normal and recurring nature, for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K").
