Cross Country Healthcare Inc. recently released a study on the use and benefits of vendor management systems (VMS) to streamline the hiring of contingent and permanent staff. The study found that 40 percent of participants currently use a VMS, while 31 percent were unsure and 29 percent said they did not use a VMS. When participants who use a VMS were asked what they liked the most about it, they said security of data (57 percent), improved processes and efficiencies (49 percent) and reduced time to fill (38 percent.)
The study, Vendor Management Systems: The Lifeline Healthcare Systems Need Now, includes responses from more than 150 healthcare leaders on this component of the healthcare technology ecosystem.
A VMS can provide an automated process to find, schedule and manage staff. Users receive data to make informed hiring decisions, allowing control of staffing via one centralized platform. These tech platforms can be used for managed service programs, as well as neutral VMS platforms. Work processes are streamlined and efficiencies are gained, saving time and resources.
