How Agencies and MSPs Conquer Healthcare Staffing Issues

Imagine struggling daily to find qualified medical professionals to fill critical positions. This scenario is a harsh reality for many healthcare organizations today. The American Hospital Association projects a shortfall of 3.2 million healthcare workers by 2026, while McKinsey predicts a deficit of up to 450,000 registered nurses by 2025. These alarming figures highlight the urgent need for effective staffing solutions to prevent compromised patient care and overburdened staff.

Staffing agencies and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) face immense pressure to meet this demand. The challenge is not only finding candidates but ensuring they are highly qualified, credentialed, and ready to contribute to high-quality patient care. The manual processes that many agencies still rely on are inefficient and prone to errors, leading to delays and compliance risks. So, how can healthcare staffing agencies and MSPs overcome these hurdles?
