Vendor Management

Healthcare and Hospital Vendor Management System (VMS)

Reduce costs on the management of vendor and agency staff 10-15%

ShiftWise Healthcare Vendor Managment Services Agency ManagementThe strategic use of contract and temporary labor has been shown to reduce the burden on understaffed departments, improve revenue in niche areas, and lower overtime and other labor costs.  And in today's world of low supply and high demand, having additional vendor resources when you need them is part of a smart workforce management strategy.

Yet, many health systems work short staffed and avoid the use of staffing agencies because of perceived high costs, inconsistent quality and reliability, difficulty in enforcing compliance and the overwhelming administrative burden that has historically been associated with the traditional manual vendor staffing process.
