Taking a siloed approach to healthcare staffing does not work. Hospitals and medical practices have evolving needs that are not being met by purely internal resources. A pandemic and numerous other external disruptors have expedited some of the staffing challenges that were already present in healthcare. Now, more than ever, healthcare organizations need a partner to ensure sustained access to care for patients.
Many administrators have turned to a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to fill their contract or locums needs on the nursing, APP and physician side of the business. On its face, MSPs seem to solve some of the issues healthcare organizations face by increasing access to a larger pool of clinicians, but there are numerous deficiencies and limits to the efficiency of some current models.
That’s where Venn and our alliance program come in, presenting a different approach to workforce management. It is not an off-the-shelf MSP. It is an opportunity for organizations to quickly move the needle in a tangible way.
Venn addresses client needs by focusing on their unique strengths, pain points, and long-term goals. The alliance program fosters a competitive environment where clients source from a tailored supplier panel, enhancing fulfillment efforts, rate management, and agency relationships. By working together and utilizing new technologies and delivery models, we can better serve the needs of our clients by filling open positions faster and getting clinicians on the job sooner. Like the well-known diagram,
Venn is different from a traditional MSP. It comes down to a tailored approach and the right technology.
Approach
With a curated panel of suppliers, Venn’s dedicated program management meets each client’s unique needs. Traditional MSPs are about creating transactions rather than creating solutions for clients. Venn takes a holistic approach to workforce management to deliver the right solution at the right time.
Flexibility
Venn embraces adaptability and agility in our approach to meeting client needs. We understand that every situation is unique and are committed to tailoring our strategies and solutions accordingly.
Technology
Technology matters. Unlike many MSPs and other software options, Venn’s technology is not built on a nursing platform. It was designed specifically to address physician and APP staffing, perm and locum tenens. That means it can better fit your needs and make sure you have the data you need to optimize your workforce.
Venn’s work doesn’t stop at implementation. Unlike a traditional MSP, Venn is committed to ongoing optimization and process improvement.
Current workforce management models, like traditional MSPs, are missing the mark. To better serve patients and communities, we need to approach healthcare staffing differently. By working together, we can ensure positions are filled faster and patients have access to sustainable, high-quality healthcare.
