Your Solutions Partner in Building a Flexible Workforce

Float Pool, Internal Agency, and Gig Worker solutions are a crucial workforce strategy that empowers health systems to control costs, enhance patient care, and improve staff satisfaction.

Data-Driven Workforce Management Solutions

  • Internal Float Pool Management
    These staff are “floating” or available to be assigned to different areas within a local area (can be single or multiple facilities) based on the staffing needs of your organization on a shift-by shift basis.
  • Internal Agency
    This staffing source is pre-qualified and cleared to work in multiple units, departments, and locations within your organization, deployed on short-term assignments (13 weeks or less) like an external traveler or contractor, only taking assignments within your health system.
  • Gig Worker Pool
    Our nursing gig work offering is a seamless staffing solution with skilled nurses ready to provide high-quality care, whenever and wherever you need it, whether you're filling last-minute shifts or planning ahead.
