An innovative staffing and scheduling methodology is emerging in healthcare, and reinventing how hospitals and health systems leverage their most valuable resource – their employees – to achieve better outcomes. These outcomes include more satisfied employees, reduced labor costs and, ultimately, improved quality of care and patient satisfaction.
This new approach, called Collaborative Staffing, reimagines traditional staffing practices and offers new solutions to long-standing problems. The Collaborative Staffing model is being leveraged by many leading healthcare organizations to drive down labor costs and optimize staffing processes. These organizations are able to save money through smarter staff utilization, as opposed to workforce reductions. And with a focus on employee empowerment, organizations are seeing this positively impact turnover, recruitment, and staff engagement, which ultimately contributes to improved patient outcomes and quality.
Download the Whitepaper to understand the research demonstrating how Collaborative Staffing improves the efficacy, efficiency, and organizational outcomes associated with staff management. The analysis aims to detail the power of this staffing and scheduling paradigm, and exemplify how it benefits financial health, staff, and patients for hospitals using this model.

Healthcare economic policies are changing rapidly since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. Today’s healthcare system is transitioning from volume-based to value-, quality- and outcome-based. Today, there is a new focus on “bundled payments,” which reimburses based on specific clinical episodes rather than fees for service, with a heavy focus on clinical episodes that result in the highest costs, such as stroke.
As the new bundled payment programs become a reality, stakeholders need to prove clinical utility, operational efficiency and financial performance of technology. The goal is to challenge clinicians to develop innovative solutions to contain the cost of service while continuing to deliver high-quality care.
