Broadlane said in the release that it believes that it will be imperative for hospitals to mitigate the challenges driven by the aging population and retiring workforce by increasing workforce efficiency and productivity with proven clinical staffing technologies, services and strategies. Prolucent provides cutting-edge technologies and services to enable hospitals to optimize the deployment of permanent and temporary clinical staff.
Prolucent estimates that 2 million nurses will need to enter the healthcare system by 2020 to meet patient demand and replace experienced nurses who will retire during this decade, according to the release. Officials from Prolucent said in the release that they are working to develop solutions and partnerships to help hospitals deal with these future challenges.
Key components of Prolucent’s workforce management approach include the following:
- Web-based Vendor Management System Technology that enables healthcare providers to promote agency staff quality, vendor service levels and contract compliance through online real-time management of requisition, fulfillment, credential management, time tracking, payments and reporting of agency staff.
- Web-based Staff Scheduling Technology that requires minimal IT investment and is based on intuitive calendar-based schedules, drag-and-drop functionality and browser-based navigation.
- Agency Management Services that bring Prolucent account managers to local markets, rather than a centralized location, in order to best understand unique local labor challenges and deliver the most impactful results possible to clients.
- Agency Strategic Sourcing Services that include Prolucent’s broad agency contract portfolio of hundreds of staffing agencies throughout the U.S. and deliver clients better pricing and service levels based on the aggregated purchasing power of Prolucent’s client base.
