Two little words, “Contract Labor” are almost considered curse words to hospital systems.

• Find the BEST talent - Use a bigger pool of candidates to choose from to allow you to find the best candidate for the position.

• Have a partner - Many hospital staffing offices are small and lack resources.  It is nice to have a large team at an agency to help you solve your contingent labor problems who will do the heavy lifting for you, including pre-screening, credentialing and paying sub-vendors.

• Maintain better staffing levels - If you get a large surge of unforeseen patients, which many hospitals unfortunately experienced in 2014 , you can quickly release many needs out to ultimately have a optimum fill rate and better patient care.
