In today's healthcare landscape, post-acute facilities face significant challenges in staffing due to workforce shortages, rising costs, and inefficient manual scheduling processes. This whitepaper explores how a flexible staffing solution can help these facilities cut costs while maintaining high-quality patient care.

Traditional staffing methods are slow and labor-intensive, leading to unfilled shifts, staff burnout, and suboptimal patient outcomes. Medely’s Talent Marketplace offers an automated, on-demand staffing solution that connects facilities with a network of over 300,000 verified healthcare professionals. By leveraging this platform, post-acute facilities can streamline workforce management, reduce reliance on expensive staffing agencies, and improve operational efficiency.

The paper highlights the benefits of an agile and automated staffing approach, including:

• Faster shift fulfillment: Reducing the time spent on manual scheduling.
• Lower labor costs: Minimizing overtime and agency fees.
• Improved staff retention: Offering flexibility to prevent burnout.
• Enhanced patient care: Ensuring adequate staffing levels to meet demand.

By adopting a flexible staffing model, healthcare facilities can achieve cost savings, optimize workforce utilization, and enhance patient care outcomes.
