\nHealthcare Providers Get 11% Cost Savings Versus Staffing Agencies & Increase Coverage
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ShiftMed, LLC, an industry leader in on-demand health care staffing platforms, partnered with leading skilled nursing providers to offer Guaranteed Shifts\u2122 to workers using the ShiftMed Mobile App. Guaranteed Shifts\u2122 gives ShiftMed employees peace of mind, knowing they still get paid if a shift is canceled. Employee trust and confidence help skilled nursing providers fill more shifts while reducing reliance on surge pricing or a last-minute bonus. These positions include Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Registered Nurses (RNs).<\/p>\n

ShiftMed\u2019s skilled nursing partner client companies care for a variable number of patients, especially during this pandemic. The certainty of a Guaranteed Shift\u2122 increases clients\u2019 \u201cfill\u201d and \u201cshow\u201d rates without adding expensive bonuses. During COVID-19, other staffing agencies increased prices to health care companies to capitalize on shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur front-line employees do their best to manage during the COVID-19 Pandemic, which involves stressful coordination of childcare and transportation,\u201d says Todd Walrath, CEO of ShiftMed. \u201cBefore Guaranteed Shifts\u2122, one of our employees\u2019 biggest risks was the possibility of a shift cancelation. We eliminated this risk to reduce the anxiety of our clinical team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goodwill from Guaranteed Shifts\u2122 yields tangible cost savings for ShiftMed customers; skilled nursing partners have seen cost per shift reduced by over 11%, an average savings of $3.30 per hour.<\/p>\n

The app lists the Guaranteed Shifts\u2122 requested locally, in real-time. Premier Healthcare Management is an early innovator by offering Guaranteed Shifts\u2122. Employee response to Guaranteed Shifts\u2122 is overwhelming:<\/p>\n
