AHA Endorsement:
Staffing Vendor Management
“ShiftWise ensures that all agency staff profiles are in the system and up to date which saves our staffers and managers time. We will save over $200,000 in the first year alone after standardizing our [vendor] rates using ShiftWise’s benchmarked data. For any health system that wants a complete end-to-end solution that also delivers much needed cost savings, I highly recommend ShiftWise.”
— Sean Cox, Administrator, Recruitment, Vidant Health
To address system-wide staff shortages, many health care organizations rely on supplemental staff from a variety of resources including staffing agencies, float pools and independent contractors. Working with multiple vendors and resource pools to procure and manage temporary and contract staff can be complex and time-consuming, often involving manual, paper-based processes. In addition, there is often little visibility into compliance, quality and costs.
Why We Endorse Staffing Vendor Management from ShiftWise
We identified the system from ShiftWise as a leader in providing Web-based solutions to automate, streamline and simplify workforce vendor management processes. Through the Staffing Vendor Management system, health care organizations can automate and standardize the procurement and management of flexible, temporary and contract labor to lower costs, improve quality and ensure compliance. The solution further differentiates itself through its impartial stance toward vendor use; positive vendor relationships; added-value support tools and services; and consistently high-quality service, as demonstrated by client retention rates at or near 98 percent.
