Managed Services & Analytics Program (MSAP) Three Ways to Control Contingent Workforce Costs in a Challenging Environment
Direct Sourcing & Gig Workers
Many healthcare organizations already enjoy strong brand recognition, whether local, regional, national, or even global. With the right infrastructure in place, organizations can leverage their strong brand, help reduce the costs of acquiring those resources, and do so faster.
With direct sourcing, an organization is given the technology to attract talent independently. Leveraging their internal applicant tracking system, they can attract clinicians through the same process as they would a full-time position.
Hospitals are also tapping into the gig economy to provide more flexibility to nurses and address staffing shortages. Using technology and mobile apps, experienced nurses can easily pick up shifts within the health system’s area, whether for a single shift or an extended period. If an organization is contemplating use of gig workers, there are some considerations that need to be kept in mind. A system needs to be in place to send 1099 forms by January 31 for the previous year, and steps should be taken to ensure that the worker’s experience aligns with the role or assignment that they will be given.
