Summary
Empowering Hospitals to Manage Contingent Clinical Care: A Podcast Summary
About the Podcast
Join us for an insightful conversation with Steve Swan, President of StaffBot and Staffency, as he discusses how automating traditionally labor-intensive, manual processes can empower hospitals to manage their own contingent clinical care services. This podcast is proudly sponsored by Staffbot.
The Challenges of Managing Contingent Labor in Healthcare
Steve Swan highlights the challenges healthcare leaders and administrators face when managing contingent labor. Trust, data analysis, technology, and real-time data are just some of the critical components required to manage costs efficiently. According to Steve understanding these dynamics better can help healthcare organizations take targeted actions to achieve their goals.
The Importance of Real-Time Data and Transparency
Steve emphasizes the importance of real-time data and transparency when it comes to managing contingent labor in hospitals. For instance, system integrations such as timekeeping systems, can assist hospitals in making decisions about seasonal spending and see reporting dashboards on their contingent labor spend in real-time. This allows care administrators to pivot quickly, and make informed decisions based on real-time data.
Looking Ahead
As healthcare organizations focus on delivering value-based care, deploying more full-time staff may not always be the best option. A growing contingent workforce can enable organizations to create flexible care teams, providing care that meets the needs of patients and clinicians. By leveraging technology to automate manual processes for managing contingent clinical care services, healthcare leaders can create the flexibility they need to meet changing care needs, while positively influencing the bottom line.
